Every 2023 5 oz Proof Australian Silver Koala Coin comes in its very own packaging from the Perth Mint. The coins are placed in classic displays from the Perth Mint, which have a clear lid on top. They are carefully packed in a case with a koala theme and come with a Certificate of Authenticity. These coins stand out with their high-relief proofs that give a 3D look to the designs and make them even more eye-catching. What’s more, each coin has a hint of pink-gold gilding on the edge and the koala design.

Obverse

On the front of the 2023 Proof Australian Silver Koala Coin, you’ll find a picture of the late Queen Elizabeth II. She’s shown from the side wearing a special crown called the George IV State Diadem. The design for 2023 by Jody Clark is made special with an engraving that honors her 70 years as queen, with 1952-2022 written along the edge.

Reverse

On the flip side of the 2023 5 oz Proof Silver Koala Coins, you’ll see a picture of a mother koala holding onto a eucalyptus tree. She has her little Joey with her, riding on her back. Once the Joey leaves the pouch, it enters the “backpack” phase where it holds onto the mother’s fur using its special paws.

History

Koalas are marsupials, which means they have pouches to carry and care for their young ones. The pouch offers a safe space for the Joey’s early days.
