Obverse

On the front side of the 2023 Proof Australian Koala Coin, you’ll find an image of the late Queen Elizabeth II. She’s shown from the side wearing a special crown called the George IV State Diadem. The 2023 design by Jody Clark includes a unique engraving honoring her 70 years as queen, with 1952-2022 inscribed along the edge.

Reverse

Turning to the reverse side of the 2023 Proof Koala 5 oz Silver Coin, you’ll see a depiction of a mother koala clinging to a eucalyptus tree. She has her little Joey with her, riding on her back. After leaving the pouch, the Joey enters the “backpack” stage, using its special paws to grip onto the mother’s fur.

History

Koalas are marsupials, meaning they have pouches to carry and nurture their young ones. The pouch provides a safe place for the Joey’s early days.
