2023 Australia Koala 5 oz Silver High Relief Gilded Proof Coin

The bonds between mother and joey are highlighted in pink gold gilding on this charming 5oz silver proof high relief coin from the Australian Koala series.

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.

Pink gold gilding

The coin portrays a superbly detailed high relief image of a koala climbing a tree branch with a ‘joey’ clinging to its back. The beguiling artistry is further highlighted with 22-carat pink gold gilding, which has also been applied to the coin’s rim and edge. Included on the reverse are the inscriptions ‘KOALA’ and The Perth Mint’s ‘P’ mintmark, as well as the coin’s weight, purity, and year-date.

Memorial Obverse

This coin portrays the official Queen Elizabeth II Memorial Obverse, featuring the Jody Clark effigy supplemented with the dates of Her Majesty’s reign – ‘1952 – 2022’.

Presentation packaging

Accompanied by a numbered certificate of authenticity, the coin is housed in a classic display case with a clear lid, which comes in an illustrated shipper.
