Each 2024 1/10 oz Australian Platinum Koala Coin comes packaged in a secure plastic capsule to protect its Brilliant Uncirculated condition.

The reverse design for 2024 is the work of Ing Ing Jong, a renowned artist behind many of the Perth Mint’s stunning coin designs.

Koalas hold a special place in Australia’s natural history, with ancestors dating back to the Oligocene epoch millions of years ago. These early koala-like marsupials were part of a diverse group, but only one species remains today, symbolizing Australia’s unique wildlife heritage.

The obverse of the 2024 Australian Platinum Koala Coin features the first portrait of King Charles III to appear on Australian coinage. Created by Dan Thorne, this left-profile design captures the King without a crown, marking a new era in the nation’s coin designs.

On the reverse, the 2024 Platinum Koala showcases a koala climbing the trunk of a gum tree. The marsupial is captured mid-movement, glancing back over its shoulder, with fine details bringing the natural scene to life.
