1 oz Koala Silver Coin | Royal Australia Mint | 2024

1 oz Koala Silver Coin | Royal Australian Mint | 2024

This is the first release of a new silver coin featuring the well-known koala, a national symbol of Australia, created by the Royal Australian Mint.

The Obverse

The obverse shows a koala climbing and gripping a beam. Under its hind paws, you can see the inscription "1 oz .999 Ag," with "Ag" being the Latin abbreviation for "argentum," meaning "silver." The koala is depicted in a naturalistic manner, turning its head back. In the background, there is a eucalyptus forest, the exclusive food source for these animals. Above the koala's back, "KOALA" is written in large letters.

The Reverse

The reverse features, as a final tribute, the portrait of Queen Elizabeth II wearing her distinctive pearl necklace, designed by artist Jody Clark. His initials "JC" can be found on the left shoulder of the portrait. Unlike the portraits of her son, King Charles III, this one faces to the right. The image is surrounded by the inscription "ELIZABETH II 1952-2022" (the years of her reign), "AUSTRALIA 2024," and the denomination "5 DOLLARS."
