Historically, koalas were distributed across a vast range of eastern Australia, spanning from Queensland in the north to South Australia in the south. Their distribution was primarily concentrated in eucalyptus forest regions along the eastern coastal areas and adjacent inland zones. Different subspecies emerged in various regions, with slight variations in size and fur characteristics depending on local environmental conditions.
All 2024 1/10 oz Australian Gold Koala Coins available here are housed in an acrylic capsule. The Perth Mint has set a limited mintage of 25,000 coins for this gold release, making it a prized option for collectors and investors alike. The reverse artwork for the 2024 Gold Koala was created by Ing Ing Jong, a renowned artist recognized for her work on the Perth Mint’s celebrated Lunar Series.
On the obverse of the 2024 Australian Gold Koala Coin is a left-profile portrait of His Majesty King Charles III. This design, introduced in 2024 by artist Dan Thorne, marks the first effigy of King Charles III to appear on Australian coinage. The depiction showcases the King without a crown in a striking, simple relief.
The reverse of the 2024 1/10 oz Gold Koala Coin showcases its namesake animal. The design captures a koala perched on the trunk of a gum tree, looking back over its shoulder in a serene pose. This artwork highlights the charm and uniqueness of one of Australia’s most beloved marsupials.
