The 2023 Koala Coloured Silver Coin is a limited edition collector's edition from The Perth Mint, presented for the Perth National Stamp and Coin Exhibition. The coin is presented in an illustrated card, which also serves as a protective packaging and display device. The reverse of the coin depicts a koala climbing a eucalyptus tree with a cub on its back. Colour elements highlight the animals and their natural environment, and the composition is completed by the inscription KOALA, the 2023 year mark, the weight of the coin, the silver fineness and The Perth Mint's mint mark "P". The design was created by Ing Ing Jong. The koala is one of the most recognizable symbols of Australian wildlife. The motif of a mother and cub conveys care, security and a close bond, so the coin is suitable not only for collection, but also as a meaningful gift for a family addition, birthday or other special occasion. The coin is minted from 999.9 fine silver. It contains one troy ounce, or not less than 31.107 g of pure silver. The coin has a nominal value of 1 Australian dollar, a diameter of up to 40.90 mm, and a thickness of up to 3.50 mm. It is the official currency of Australia. The obverse features a commemorative portrait of Queen Elizabeth II by Jody Clark with the years of her reign “1952–2022”. This obverse variant was used on Australian coins after the monarch’s death, marking her long reign. The publication is packaged in a color illustrated card with the symbolism of the exhibition. The back of the card has a folding stand that allows the coin to be conveniently displayed. The officially stated maximum circulation of this edition is only 2,000 pieces.
