Australian Koala 2026 5oz Silver Proof High Relief Gilded Coin | The Perth Mint

Celebrate one of Australia's most treasured native animals with the Australian Koala 2026 5oz Silver Proof High Relief Gilded Coin from The Perth Mint. Expertly struck in magnificent high relief and enhanced with selective gilding, this premium release showcases the charm and beauty of the iconic koala in exceptional detail.

Renowned for their gentle nature and unmistakable appearance, koalas are among Australia's most recognisable wildlife species. Spending much of their lives resting or feeding on eucalyptus leaves, these unique marsupials have become enduring symbols of Australia's rich natural heritage and biodiversity.

The coin's reverse features a beautifully detailed koala perched amongst the branches of a eucalyptus tree, holding a leafy branch in its mouth and surrounded by native foliage. The design incorporates The Perth Mint's renowned "P" mintmark, the inscription "KOALA", along with the coin's weight, purity, and 2026 year-date, creating a stunning tribute to this beloved Australian icon.

The obverse displays the Dan Thorne effigy of His Majesty King Charles III, together with the coin's monetary denomination, confirming its status as Australian legal tender.

Combining outstanding artistry, intricate high-relief striking, and elegant gilded finishes, the 2026 Australian Koala 5oz Silver Proof High Relief Gilded Coin is a spectacular addition for collectors of premium Perth Mint releases and Australian wildlife-themed coins.
