Information on the Gold Koala 1/2 oz PP – 2026
The koala is one of Australia’s recognised symbols and has been a protected species since 1937 due to the threat posed by humans. The Australian Perth Mint has been issuing the Australian Koala as a series of silver coins in honour of this well-known marsupial since 2007. Since 2008, it has also been issued in gold. With the Gold Koala 1/2 oz PP coin, the Perth Mint is now presenting a 1/2 oz Gold Koala in the popular Polished Plate finish for the first time. The Polished Plate finish is particularly sought-after by collectors and is one of the most labour-intensive coin production processes. With a worldwide mintage of just 250 pieces, this gold coin is strictly limited and is supplied in its original coin case with a numbered certificate of authenticity.
The design of the gold coin
The obverse depicts a koala sitting in a eucalyptus tree, holding a leafy branch in its mouth. Surrounded by native flora, the design beautifully captures the calm, natural character of this distinctive animal. The design is complemented by the inscription “KOALA”, the Perth Mint’s “P” mint mark, and details of the coin’s weight, fineness and year of issue: “2026 1/2oz 9999 GOLD”.
