Each 1990 1 oz Australian Platinum Koala Coin comes in an individual acrylic capsule. This release had one of the smallest mintages in the series, with just 28,121 coins sold. In 1990, the Platinum Koala program offered a range of sizes: 1 oz, 1/2 oz, 1/4 oz, 1/10 oz, and 1/20 oz.
Obverse
The obverse design of the 1990 Australian Platinum Koala features Queen Elizabeth II in right-profile relief. Created by Raphael Maklouf in 1985, this third-generation portrait shows the Queen wearing the George IV State Diadem, a design seen on many Australian coins from this era.
Reverse
On the reverse of the 1990 1 oz Platinum Koala Coin, you will find a depiction of a koala moving along a tree branch with its joey riding on its back. During the early 20th century, hunting for their fur caused a severe population decline, but laws passed in the 1930s helped protect the species.
History
Koalas have lived in Australias eucalyptus forests for around 20 million years. They evolved from larger animals that once lived on the ground, adapting to life in the trees over time. When Europeans first documented them in 1798, they mistakenly thought the creatures were bears, leading to the name koala bear, which is still incorrectly used today.
