In 1987, Australia authorized the release of some of the world’s first-ever platinum bullion coins. One of those two coins was the Australian Platypus Platinum Coin. This coin features a static image of the platypus on the reverse side, with the reigning British monarch depicted on the obverse of each coin. This collection remains in production in the 21st century.
Also introduced in 1987, the Australian Koala Platinum Coin is often credited as the first of the two to debut. Regardless of release timing, the Australian Koala Platinum Coin and the Australian Platypus Platinum Coins represented the first-ever platinum bullion coins from a major global mint when the coins debuted.

Introduced in 2018, the Australian Kangaroo Platinum Coin is one of the newest platinum bullion coins from Perth Mint.

After issuing Lunar Series coins as far back as 1996, the first platinum coin in this collection debuted in 2020 when Perth Mint launched Lunar Series III.

The series follows a 12-year cycle honoring each of the animals in the Zodiac from the Year of the Mouse in year one to the Year of the Pig in year twelve.
The obverse field of annual bullion coin programs from the Perth Mint displays the effigy of Queen Elizabeth II. However, as of 2024, these coins will feature the new portrait of King Charles III. This image was designed by Dan Thorne.
