Obverse
The inscriptions on the obverse of the coin are presented in various concentric circles. The outer circular border includes the inscriptions COLOURS OF WILDLIFE and 3 OZ AG 999. Within that first circular border is another circle full of images of animals and plant life. Look closely and you’ll find birds, big cats, a monkey and other animals. Finally, there’s the inside circle with the seal of Barbados and the inscriptions BARBADOS and 5 DOLLARS. The national seal includes symbols such as a hand holding sugarcane, the bearded fig tree and national flowers and the pelican and dolphin.

Reverse

Inscriptions in the raised circular border on the reverse read AUSTRALIAN KOALA and 2022. The border also includes images of eucalyptus leaves. Inside the border, a sunken field is finished in bright green enamel for a vibrant, natural look. Above that field, the device of the koala clinging to branches rises. The stunning detail of this image makes it easy to see the koala’s face, claws, and fir, and there’s a lot to take in on the gorgeous reverse of the 2022 Antique Barbados Colours of the Wildlife Australian Koala Silver Coin.

Packaging

The coin ships in a protective plastic capsule and comes with both a Certificate of Authenticity and a presentation box.

History

Koalas have a long history on the continent of Australia and surrounding islands. Remains of koala-like creatures have been found that date back 25 million years, which means that the animals have been evolving in the area since probably the time when the continent began shifting away from the others. In some parts of Australia, the koala is considered endangered due to the encroaching build of modern infrastructure putting its habitat at risk.
