Each 1992 1 oz Australian Platinum Koala Coin comes inside a protective flip. This coin represents the fifth release in the Platinum Koala Series, a program that ran until 2000. Each year featured a new koala design, which adds to the appeal of these coins among collectors and investors.
Obverse
On the obverse of the 1992 Australian Platinum Koala Coin, Queen Elizabeth II is featured in a portrait designed by Raphael Maklouf in 1985. This design shows the Queen facing right, wearing the George IV State Diadem, a crown typically worn during state events.
Reverse
The reverse side of the 1992 1 oz Platinum Koala Coin shows the iconic koala holding onto the branches of a tree. Koalas have long been the subject of scientific research, with one notable discovery being their human-like fingerprints, which closely resemble those of humans.
History
Koalas are unique animals, known for their solitary lifestyles. Each adult koala maintains a “home range” in the trees, with overlapping territories among females and their offspring. Male koalas make distinct calls during the breeding season, from December to March, to attract mates and mark their dominance in the area.
