Koalas are one of Australia’s most beloved native animals and hold a lasting place in the country’s cultural identity.

Koalas have become a global symbol of Australia, appearing in travel promotions, educational materials, and even on currency over the years. Their presence reflects the country’s unique wildlife and the fragile ecosystems that support it. Beyond their popularity, koalas serve as a reminder of the responsibility to protect Australia’s natural environments for future generations.

The obverse of the 2026 Royal Australian Mint Silver Koala Coin features a detailed effigy of King Charles III. This left-facing profile portrait was designed by Dan Thorne and presents the monarch without a crown. As one of the first official images of King Charles III to appear on Australian coinage, the design marks a new chapter in the nation’s circulating and collectible coins.

On the reverse of the 2026 1 oz RAM Silver Koala Coin, the Royal Australian Mint depicts a peaceful scene of a koala family nestled within the branches of a gum tree. While koalas are often thought of as social animals, they typically live solitary lives. The strongest bond is between a mother and her joey. After spending roughly six months in the pouch, young koalas ride on their mother’s back for several more months as they learn to navigate the trees and transition to a diet of eucalyptus leaves.
