Celebrate the enduring allure of Australia’s indigenous fauna with the 2026 Australia 1oz Koala High Relief Proof Gold Coin, a masterfully executed numismatic masterpiece from The Perth Mint honouring one of the continent’s most cherished and iconic creatures.
Struck from 1 troy ounce of 99.99% pure gold, this exquisite proof coin showcases a meticulously detailed depiction of a koala perched serenely within a eucalyptus tree. Grasping a leafy branch in its mouth and surrounded by native foliage, the design perfectly encapsulates the tranquil disposition, characteristically rounded ears, and expressive gaze of this treasured marsupial, which embodies the unique spirit of Australia's natural heritage.
The reverse features the elegant inscription ‘KOALA’, alongside the year of issue, the coin’s weight, purity, metal content and The Perth Mint’s “P” mintmark. The obverse features Dan Thorne’s effigy of His Majesty King Charles III, the King’s name “CHARLES III”, face value and country of issue. Elevating its artistry, both the obverse and reverse surfaces are exquisitely minted with a concave finish, ensuring an optimum flow of precious metal to achieve an unparalleled depth of high relief definition.
