About the coin: since 2007 The Perth Mint introduced the Silver Koalas series. Coins with a different image of this animal are issued each year on the reverse of the coin. This year, a new picture of Queen Elizabeth II Jody Clark is on display. When early Europeans first encountered a koala in Australia, they considered tree-climbing animals to be monkeys or bears. Koalas have special physical properties that facilitate their lifestyle in trees. They are capable of grasping branches and picking out eucalyptus leaves, hard skin and sharp paws provide traction when climbing branches. They have an extremely dense and thick coat that allows them to sit comfortably on the branches for hours. These unique Australian animals are great icons representing the Australian fauna in the coin series.
