I got the following information from Amark: The release of 2017 coins is announced for End of November 2016.
The mintage is unlimeted (as already known). But mintage figures are not yet known.
To answer your question about tthe mini silver koala (1/10oz), the 2015 release was the very last one:

RM seems to sell them again directly after a long break: https://www.royalmintbullion.com/Products/Queens-Beasts/QB16LQCP
And a reasonable offer from an US dealer on ebay...
@postafoa an @all
If you want to have a look at all the carded Koalas then see my picture compilation on a german coin forum:

On the previous page you can see also the 1/10oz carded Koalas incl. the very first one from 2011 Berlin...
@postafoa
I have made my one compilation of all existing carded Koalas coins issued by Perth Mint.
This compilation is also including the ones issued from Downies (known as green card)
and the ones sold by Intnumis (known as packed by Global Promotions):
The data have been balanced with Perth...
Hi Silverman,
Definitely no carded Koala any more of any size. PM has confirmed that under item 9 (Dec. 14th, 2014):

And now the missing third coin, the 2oz silver Lion of England is also available at Royal Mints Shop:
https://www.royalmintbullion.com/Products/Queens-Beasts/Silver
Currently price is about GBP 31,54
I am sure that (as in Germany) dealers will import directly from RM to avoid mass quotations as requested from Wholesalsedirectmetals.com
Stay a bit patient an even some local dealers will offer the 2oz silver and the 1/4 gold bullion coin soon. I am confident in that.
Reasonable price compared with the cheapest German dealer prices.
And if you can pay in USA without PP, CC etc. it is by far cheaper (savings of about another 40 Euro which equals gold spot in Euro!)
Depends what your understanding as affordable for a 2oz bullion coin in capsule is:
Wholesalesdirectmetals.com in USA want to have 44 USD but with minimum quantity of 4,000 coins:

while a German dealer (an UK representative of...
Hi Guys,
I Germany we have been aware of that coin for a while already. That is why I could spent some time with investigation about this new coin series.
Here my short summary: The Lion of England is no. 1 out of ten. All coins are capsuled so no need for an extra purchase:
"Both the silver...

I took the pic with my Samsung 6edge. It is indeed much lighter than 2k. :)
Unfortunately I forgot to ask taking out the coin of the cabinet for the pic.
@mmissinglink
The coloured coin is a genuine PM coin. But I do not know if colouring is made in house.
Just ask the PM blog ;)
Hi AgAuNEWs,
If you would have read my hints about new the new Australian Kangaroo 2016 2oz Silver High Relief Antiqued Coin more carefully you would have recovered that much earlier. ;)
And in the thread about the Kookaburras picture/Image Thead I have unvealed it already on 4th Feb...

World Money Fair in Berlin starting today: http://www.worldmoneyfair.de/wmf/en/fair-catalog/
Hope you like it as I am doing.
