Story

Much-loved marsupial

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.

High relief design

The coin portrays a charming koala clinging to a tree trunk and eucalyptus foliage in high relief. Included in the design are the inscriptions ‘KOALA’ and a ‘P125’ mintmark signifying The Perth Mint’s 125th anniversary, as well as the coin’s weight, purity and 2024 year-date.
