    Guys...just checked my European records...500 coins came to the West.

    That's why the 2013 Koala with Chinese Pinyin pictograph / privy is so rare.

    2013 Australian Koala - Chinese Characters - Silver Bullion Coin

    The design on the 2013 Australian Koala - Chinese Characters (1oz) silver bullion coin, consists of a circle enclosing a representation of a koala sitting in the fork of a leafy tree. The coin includes the following inscriptions, 'AUSTRALIAN KOOKABURRA', the Pinyin pictographs pronounced 'sh' and 'nin' meaning 'year of the snake', the Pinyin pictographs pronounced 'j' and 'xing' meaning either 'auspicious' or 'propitiousness', '2013 1oz 999 SILVER' and the initials of the designer Natasha Muhl 'NM'.

    So inreality...the Western market has about 500 coins for the 2013 Koala privy...best of luck getting that Kwala and the 2012 carded Koala. ;)
