Story

Cherished koala

The koala is renowned for its love of eucalyptus trees. This charming marsupial relies on these trees for both food and shelter, spending most of its life among the comforting eucalyptus foliage. The distinctive aroma of the eucalyptus also helps to create a tranquil environment for this adorable creature, making it an iconic symbol of Australia's remarkable biodiversity.

Stunning pink gold gilding

The coin portrays a koala embracing a tree trunk surrounded by eucalyptus foliage. The koala and the coin’s rim are meticulously gilded in stunning 22-carat pink gold. Included in the design is the inscription ‘KOALA’, and a ‘P125’ mintmark signifying The Perth Mint’s 125th anniversary, as well as the coin’s weight, purity and 2024 year-date.
