The koala is one of Australia's most popular animals, accounting for the exceptional success of the Australian Koala series.
The design of the 2016 Silver Koala release features a koala walking along a branch of a eucalyptus tree. The reverse design also includes The Perth Mint’s ‘P’ mintmark, year-date and fineness.
Each coin’s obverse bears the Ian Rank-Broadley effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and the monetary denomination.
