Koala ascends new heights

Trusted for their weight and purity, Australian Koala bullion coins boast superb annual artistry capturing the essence of the sleepy creatures. In 2023, the design reaches a new high point with a beguiling portrait of the animal’s family life high in the gum tree canopy. 

2023 koala design

The coin portrays a koala climbing a tree with a dependent young ‘joey’ clinging to its back for security. As well as the inscription ‘KOALA’ and The Perth Mint’s ‘P’ mintmark, the reverse includes the coin’s weight, purity and year-date.

Memorial Obverse

Issued as legal tender under the Australian Currency Act 1965, the coin bears the Queen Elizabeth II Memorial Obverse featuring the Jody Clark effigy supplemented with the dates of Her Majesty’s reign – ‘1952 – 2022’.
