Obverse

The obverse of the 2024 Proof Australian Gold Koalas features the first-generation portrait of King Charles III, created by Dan Thorne. This left-profile relief shows King Charles III without a crown.

Reverse

The reverse side of the 2024 1 oz Proof Gold Koala Coin showcases a koala in its natural setting, clinging to a gum tree trunk surrounded by eucalyptus leaves.

History

The koala is a treasured marsupial from Australia, often mistaken for a bear. Koalas have a specialized digestive organ called a caecum, which is unusually long (up to 2 meters) and helps them detoxify eucalyptus leaves. This adaptation allows them to eat a food source that’s poisonous to most other animals.
