About the coin: since 2007 The Perth Mint has introduced the Silver Koala coin series. Coins with a different image of this animal on the reverse of the coin are issued each year. A new painting by Queen Elizabeth II Jody Clark is on display this year. When early Europeans first encountered a koala in Australia, they thought the animals that climbed the trees were monkeys or bears. Koalas have special physical properties that facilitate their way of life in the trees. They can grab the branches and pick out the eucalyptus leaves, the hard skin and sharp paws provide traction when climbing the branches. They have extra dense and thick fur to sit comfortably on the branches for hours upon hours. These unique Australian animals are a great icon representing the Australian fauna in the coin series.
