As one of Australia’s most recognizable native animals, the koala has long been linked to the country’s identity and natural landscape. Frequently used as a symbol of Australia’s wildlife, the koala also plays a role in raising awareness of conservation and habitat protection.

Koalas are found in eucalyptus forests and woodlands along the eastern and southeastern regions of Australia, ranging from northern Queensland through New South Wales and Victoria, and into parts of South Australia. Their habitat is closely connected to the availability of specific eucalyptus species, which provide both food and shelter. These marsupials depend on stable forest environments with adequate tree coverage and connected habitats that allow populations to remain healthy over time.

All 2026 1 oz Proof Royal Australian Mint Silver Koala Coins are housed in protective plastic capsules and placed inside a presentation box. Each box is delivered within a koala-themed outer shipper and includes a Certificate of Authenticity from the Royal Australian Mint. The proof finish gives the coin frosted design elements set against mirrored background fields, creating clear visual contrast.

The obverse design of the 2026 Proof Royal Australian Mint Silver Koala Coin features an effigy of King Charles III. Shown in left-profile relief, the portrait was created by designer Dan Thorne and represents one of the earliest official appearances of His Majesty on Australian coinage. The king is depicted without a crown, a stylistic choice seen on several early portraits introduced during his reign.

On the reverse of the 2026 1 oz Proof RAM Silver Koala Coin, the design shows a family of koalas resting among the branches of a gum tree. While koalas are often thought of as social animals, they generally live alone, with the strongest bonds forming between mothers and their joeys. Female koalas raise their young independently, with joeys spending their first months in the pouch before moving to their mother’s back. During this period, they learn how to navigate the trees and gradually adapt to a eucalyptus-based diet.
