The Perth Mint is pleased to present the beautifully crafted Australian Koala 2026 5oz Silver Proof High Relief Gilded Coin in flawless proof quality with rose gold gilding.

Depicting one of Australia's most beloved animals, this coin pays tribute to our rich wildlife. Sleepy and docile, koalas spend most of their time either resting or eating gum leaves among Australia's eucalyptus forests. Admired for its plush fur and distinctive features, koalas hold a special place in Australian wildlife and culture.

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.

Technical Information: The coin has been struck with an extra-deep blank to showcase its superbly detailed design in high relief.
