Obverse

The obverse side of Australian Koala 1 oz Silver Coins includes a depiction of Queen Elizabeth II. Her Majesty always features on Australian coins in right-profile relief. The Australian Koala Silver Coins feature either the fifth-generation or sixth-generation Queen Elizabeth II portrait. The fifth-generation portrait comes from Ian Rank-Broadley and was originally created for the Royal Mint of England in 1998. The sixth-generation portrait was created by Jody Clark for the Royal Mint in 2015. Broadleys bust of the Queen features on Australian Koalas dated 2007 to 2019, while Clarks bust of Her Majesty is on the obverse of coins as of 2020.

Reverse

On the reverse face of Australian Koala Silver Coins, you will find varying images of the koala. This marsupial species is native to Australia and is often considered a cuddly, docile animal. However, the koala is more than capable of defending itself when threatened and can attack with incredibly sharp claws. The koala is shown in a different relief on the reverse each year.

History

Australian Koala 1 oz Silver Coins are the only weight offered every year in the series since its debut. The coins had .999 pure silver content from 2007 to 2017, while all coins issued as of 2018 have .9999 pure silver.
