The Perth Mint presents the Australian Koala 2026 5 oz Silver Proof High Relief Gilded Coin, a flawless proof-quality release finished with striking rose gold gilding. This coin celebrates one of Australia's most beloved and instantly recognizable animals, paying tribute to a species deeply woven into the country's wildlife and culture.

Koalas are known for their sleepy, docile nature, spending much of their time resting or feeding on gum leaves in Australia's eucalyptus forests. Their plush fur and gentle, distinctive features have made them one of the most admired symbols of Australian wildlife worldwide. The coin's reverse captures this charm perfectly, depicting a koala perched in a eucalyptus tree with a leafy branch held in its mouth, surrounded by native foliage. The design includes the inscription "KOALA," The Perth Mint's "P" mint mark, and the coin's weight, purity, and 2026 year-date. The obverse features the Dan Thorne effigy of His Majesty King Charles III alongside the coin's monetary denomination.

The coin is struck from 5oz of 99.99% pure silver. It's been struck on an extra-deep blank to achieve its high relief finish, allowing the detailed koala design to stand out with exceptional depth and dimension. With a maximum mintage of only 750 coins worldwide, it's a genuinely limited release for collectors.

The coin is produced by The Perth Mint, renowned globally for the quality and artistry of its precious metals coinage, this piece combines fine craftsmanship with a design that appeals to both wildlife enthusiasts and serious collectors. The rose gold gilding adds a refined finishing touch, making this Australian Koala coin a standout addition to any silver proof collection.
