Obverse

The obverse of the 2026 Royal Australian Mint Silver Koala Coin displays a portrait of King Charles III. Created by designer Dan Thorne, the left-facing profile shows the monarch without a crown. This design is one of the first official effigies of King Charles III to appear on Australian legal tender.

Reverse

On the reverse of the 2026 1 oz RAM Silver Koala Coin, a peaceful scene features a koala mother and joey resting together in a eucalyptus tree. Although koalas are often thought to be social, they usually live independently. Joeys spend about six months in their mothers pouch before moving to her back, where they remain for several more months while developing climbing skills and adapting to their eucalyptus diet.

History

Koalas have long been featured in Australian media, tourism, and education, helping shape how the country is viewed internationally. Beyond their cultural importance, koalas represent the delicate balance of Australias ecosystems. Their reliance on specific habitats makes them a powerful symbol of the need to protect native forests and wildlife.
