2025 1 oz Proof Australian Gold Koala Coin (High Relief)

In the stories and beliefs of many Aboriginal Australians, the koala is a powerful figure. These animals often appear in Dreamtime legends as ancestors who shaped the world and passed on teachings about life, survival, and the natural connection between all living things. Since 2007, The Perth Mint has featured the koala on its bullion coins, with fresh designs introduced each year. The 2025 1 oz Proof Australian Gold Koala Coin is now available at BGASC. **Highlights:** - **Comes with an elegant Perth Mint box, koala-themed shipper, and a Certificate of Authenticity!** - **High-relief strike!** - **Proof visuals!** - **Limited mintage of only 200 coins!** - Contains 1 Troy oz of .9999 pure gold. - The face value of $100 (AUD) is fully backed by the Australian government. - On the obverse is King Charles III. - The reverse features a koala lounging on a tree branch. - Designed by Aleysha Howarth. Each 2025 1 oz Proof Australian Gold Koala Coin comes in its own packaging. The coin is housed in a black presentation case from The Perth Mint. It also includes a koala-themed outer sleeve and a Certificate of Authenticity. With its high-relief strike, the design offers deeper detail and a more layered look. **Obverse** The obverse of the 2025 Proof Gold Koala features a profile portrait of King Charles III. This left-facing design shows the king without a crown and was created in 2024 by artist Dan Thorne. It is the first image of King Charles III to appear on Perth Mint gold coins. **Reverse** The reverse shows a calm scene of a koala resting on a tree branch. Over time, Indigenous knowledge has provided valuable insight into how koalas move, where they live, and when they migrate. This information now plays an important part in conservation work that aims to protect the forests koalas depend on. **History** Koalas play different roles in the traditional stories of southeastern Aboriginal groups. In some tales, they were people who took animal form in sacred times. In others, they are remembered for their wisdom in helping communities locate water during dry seasons by climbing trees to spot distant streams. Their ability to live off eucalyptus leaves has made them a symbol of strength and survival in a harsh climate. **Ordering** To learn more about this gold coin, contact BGASC at 888-992-4272.
