The motive features a koala sitting in a eucalyptus tree, holding a leafy branch in its mouth, surrounded by more foliage.

Together with the kangaroo, the koala is one of the most famous representatives of Australian fauna and is considered one of the most popular symbols of Australia, not least because of its cute appearance. On the first view, koalas seem to be loners. Only on closer observation is it possible to see that they live in a stable social system. Each animal has its own territory. In it there are solid food and sleeping trees. Koalas eat only the nutrient-poor leaves of the eucalyptus tree. They are still very fussy. Of the approximately 600 eucalyptus species in Australia, they accept only a very small number as food. The **limited Koala gold proof coin** is delivered in the original box including a numbered certificate of authenticity from the Perth Mint.
