This coin beautifully portrays Australia’s cherished koalas—a mother and her joey—perched on a eucalyptus tree, their natural home. Designed by the Mint’s Adam Ball, it showcases intricate eucalyptus leaves and gum nut patterns, enhancing the backdrop.
Unlike previous koala series coins, this design emphasizes family and continuity with the tender mother-child duo. The detailed setting pays tribute to the Australian wilderness, while the obverse bears the effigy of King Charles III, crafted by Daniel Thorne.
