Absolutely Adorable Image Of Australia's Most Beloved Marsupial

The image is absolutely adorable! It's a calm and peaceful depiction of a roly-poly Koala perched on a branch munching eucalyptus leaves to his heart's content! In addition to the Ultra-High Relief detail that gives the design bold dimension and lifelike texture, the coin was also struck with a gorgeous Proof finish, meaning it was expertly crafted by The Mint from hand-selected planchets, polished dies, and multiple strikes to produce beautifully frosted details rising over mirror-like fields.
