About the Series

The Royal Australian Mint's Mini Money gold coin series will feature a selection of Australia's iconic native animals.

The frist coin in this series will feature one of Australia's most recognised and distinctive marsupials, the koala.

Koalas inhabit coastal regions of eastern and southern Australia and live mostly on eucalypt leaves. Disease and loss of habitat has reduced populations and koalas are now classed as vulnerable.
