Theme Background:

The koala is perhaps Australia’s most beloved and iconic animal. The cuddly koala ‘bear’ is not really a bear at all, but a marsupial. Protected by law, the koala inhabits Eucalyptus trees and feeds solely on a diet of its leaves, the oil from which, like love itself, is renowned for its healing and warming properties. Symbolic of pure love in the natural environment, koalas represent companionship and true affection. Each coin is struck by The Perth Mint from 1/2oz of 99.9% pure silver in proof quality and is limited to a mintage of only 7,500.

Design:

The coin’s reverse depicts a coloured representation of two Australian koalas framed by a heart of entwined gum leaves and blossoms. The design also includes an eternal waterfall and The Perth Mint’s ‘P’ mintmark. The coin’s obverse depicts the Ian Rank-Broadley effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, the monetary denomination and the 2012 year-date. The coin is issued as legal tender under the authority of the Government of the Tuvalu.
