Australian Platinum Platypus

Independent Living Bullion is pleased to offer the 1-troy ounce platinum Australian Platypus coin, minted by the prestigious Perth Mint of Australia. In 2011 the Perth Mint introduced the Platypus coin, marking the first time the mint had produced a platinum coin since it discontinued the Koala in 2000. The Platypus is one of the very few actively minted platinum coins available in the world, but like other government minted platinum coins the Platypus has a small annual mintage in the range of only 30,000.

For investors looking to buy platinum bullion the Platypus offers a great combination of beauty and a low premium, making it a terrific option. Just call Independent Living Bullion directly at 1-800-800-1865 to inquire about the current availability and/or to place an order.

The coin's design features the platypus, a semi-aquatic mammal and an iconic symbol of Australia. The Platypus is indigenous to eastern Australia and is the only mammal known to lay eggs instead of giving birth to live young. The obverse of the coin includes the bust of Queen Elizabeth II, similar to the other Perth Mint gold and silver coins.
