Each 2026 1 oz Colorized Australian Silver Koala Coin offered here is packaged in a special presentation card created for the 2026 Brisbane Money Expo ANDA Special release.

Koalas have lived in the eucalyptus forests of eastern Australia for millions of years, with fossil evidence indicating their ancestors existed at least 25 million years ago. Their development has closely followed that of Australia’s eucalyptus woodlands. When European settlers arrived in Australia in the late 18th century, reports of these tree-dwelling animals quickly sparked interest among scientists and the public abroad due to their unique appearance and behavior.

For the obverse of the 2026 Colorized Australian Silver Koala, Dan Thorne’s portrait of King Charles III is featured. The design presents the monarch in a natural and approachable style while maintaining the traditional appearance expected on modern Australian coinage. This effigy is now used across many Australian coins issued during the reign of Charles III.

On the reverse of the 2026 1 oz Colorized Silver Koala Coin, Ing Ing Jong’s design showcases a koala resting in the branches of a gum tree while enjoying eucalyptus leaves. The background is enhanced with a vivid colorized sunset that adds depth to the scene. Koalas are known for their highly specialized diet, relying almost entirely on eucalyptus leaves, which most other mammals cannot safely consume.
