2022 Australian Koala 999 Pure Silver Coin Ring Size 10

Trade In
Details

A bold contemporary statement piece born from a genuine bullion coin, this wide-band ring was hand-formed from a 2022 Australian Koala one-ounce coin struck in .999 fine silver by the Perth Mint. The artisan coin-ring technique preserves the original struck design across the outer face, and here the crisp serif "KOALA" lettering reads proudly around the band, paired with the engraved silhouette of the namesake marsupial perched against detailed eucalyptus foliage. Fine portions of the legend and date remain legible along one shoulder, a satisfying nod to the ring's numismatic origin. The band is substantial and chunky, measured at a generous size 10 with a broad, flat-to-gently-domed profile that gives real presence on the hand. Because it is pressed from nearly pure silver rather than alloyed sterling, the metal carries a soft, slightly warmer tone and a malleable character that lends itself to the smooth, rounded forming you see at the edges. The relief detailing shows beautifully under light, the recessed background gently oxidized to a darker gray that throws the raised koala and lettering into sharp contrast, while the high points retain a bright, lightly polished sheen. Condition is very good and consistent with careful handmade work: the interior is smooth and comfortable, the seam well closed, and there are only minor surface scuffs and faint tooling marks across the exterior that read as honest character rather than damage. There is light, even patina in the engraved recesses that many collectors prize. This piece will appeal to coin-jewelry enthusiasts, lovers of Australian and wildlife motifs, and anyone seeking a heavy, conversation-starting unisex band with intrinsic precious-metal value. A pure-silver coin ring of this width and clarity of design makes a distinctive gift and a wearable collectible that bridges bullion, numismatics, and artisan craftsmanship.

What Our Clients Say About Us

I knew I was gonna like Danny, based on his name, but nothing could’ve prepared me for how great of an experience this was. He had the most beautiful 70s Seamaster Cosmic on his website and I was set to be married 2 days later - I arranged to buy it but before leaving we both realized it needed to be serviced. I panicked, because I was literally buying this for my wedding, and Danny being the legend he is, loaned me a nearly identical Seamaster to make sure I could get through the event Never have I had someone go so above and beyond for me, especially while purchasing one of the lesser priced items in their inventory. He serviced my watch and exchanged it with me after the wedding on a super fast turnaround timeline. I would sincerely recommend you visit this guy, you will not be disappointed Edit: adding a pic of the loaner (two tone) and the owner (crosshair)

Great service and shop. Danny and his team were incredibly accommodating, professional, and kind. Great selection of vintage watches. Their store is the hidden gem in the diamond district.

This was my first real luxury watch purchase, a Rolex 15200 Date 34mm, I own Tissots and a Laco, but those are entry level luxury watches. I found Danny’s Vintage Watches online, and had great feedback both on Google, Chrono24 and the Reddit watch community. So decided to give him a shot as buying online can be a crap shoot. Ordered Monday night, was at my doorstep Friday morning. Despite the watch being over 30 years old, serial number says it’s from 91, the watch looked new. Didn’t come with box or papers, and was shipped in a plastic sleeve wrapped in bubble wrap. Danny was always available to answer questions. I’ll be buying from Danny again for the next purchase…saw a couple of Speedmasters on his site I liked….
