Celebrate one of Australia’s most cherished animals with the 2025 5 oz Australian Koala Proof High Relief Gilded Silver Coin, a striking release from the Perth Mint. Struck in .9999 fine silver, this proof coin is enhanced with 22-carat pink gold gilding and high-relief detail, creating an extraordinary tribute to the koala—an enduring symbol of Australia’s natural heritage.

The design captures a koala clinging to a eucalyptus tree, surrounded by intricately detailed leaves, with gilded highlights enhancing its soft, lifelike appearance. Limited to just 750 pieces worldwide, this release is highly sought after by collectors who value rarity, artistry, and cultural significance.
