Each 2025 5 oz Proof Koala Coin is housed in a Perth Mint display case with a clear acrylic lid and a black base. It comes with a themed Koala shipper and a Certificate of Authenticity. The high-relief design enhances the depth of the artwork, and selective 24-karat gold highlights can be seen on the rim of the coin and on the koala. **Obverse** The obverse of the coin carries the new first-generation portrait of King Charles III created by artist Dan Thorne. This image shows the King in left-profile relief without a crown. **Reverse** On the reverse, the design from Aleysha Howarth depicts a koala grasping a eucalyptus branch. Across the country, regional variations exist among koala subspecies. Northern Queensland koalas are usually smaller and lighter, while Victorian koalas are larger with darker coloring. Koalas in New South Wales typically show traits in between the two. **History** Koalas are found in eucalyptus forests and woodlands, relying on eucalyptus leaves as their primary food. Their range extends from Queensland to South Australia, but their natural habitat has been reduced in many areas. Urban expansion, climate impacts, and land fragmentation have made their populations more scattered. **Ordering** If you have any questions about silver coins, please contact BGASC at 888-992-4272, send us an email, or use our online chat service. **Buying Gold And Silver Coins With BGASC Is Convenient And Secure** BGASC is Fast, Reliable, and Trusted.
