Gilded koala

The Australian Koala is a sought-after coin series featuring annual designs of the much-loved marsupial. Sleepy and docile, koalas spend most of their time either resting or eating gum leaves among Australia’s eucalyptus forests.

Sleepy koala design

The coin portrays a sleepy koala nestled between the branches of a eucalyptus tree. Adding appealing highlights to the superb design, the koala and the coin’s edge are meticulously gilded in 22-carat pink gold. Also included on the reverse is The Perth Mint’s ‘P’ mintmark.
