Beloved around the world, our signature coin series honours one of Australia’s most iconic native animals — the Australian Koala. Known for its gentle nature and irresistibly fluffy charm, the koala lives high among the eucalyptus forests of Australia’s eastern coast. With its calm presence, rounded ears, and expressive eyes, this treasured marsupial embodies the unique beauty and spirit of Australia’s natural heritage.

Design

The coin’s reverse portrays a koala perched in a eucalyptus tree, holding a leafy branch in its mouth surrounded by native foliage. Included on the reverse are the inscriptions ‘KOALA’ and The Perth Mint’s ‘P’ mintmark, as well as the coin’s weight, purity and 2026 year-date. The obverse bears the Dan Thorne effigy of His Majesty King Charles III, and the coin’s monetary denomination.

Presentation

Accompanied by a numbered certificate of authenticity, the coin is housed in a classic display case with a black timber lid and stylish shipper.
