Theme Background:

The 2011 Gilded Edition of the popular Australian Koala Silver Coin Series depicts an appealing new design highlighted in 24-carat gold. The koala is an internationally recognised symbol of Australia. An arboreal marsupial, it spends most of its time in trees. Inactive during the day, it feeds on the foliage of the eucalypt at night. The koala is one of the few mammals, other than primates, that has fingerprints very similar to that of a human.

The reverse design depicts a mature koala and juvenile gilded in 24-carat gold, resting in the fork of a eucalyptus tree. The inscription AUSTRALIAN KOALA, the weight and fineness, and The Perth Mint’s ‘P’ mintmark also feature as part of the design.
