Koalas are one the few iconic symbols strongly associated with Australia.
They are indigenous only to Australia where they spend most of their live high up in Eucalyptus trees eating leaves.
Most animals find the Eucalyptus leaves toxic, but the koala has developed the ability to digest them safely.
Wrongly considered a bear by most,
the koala is actually a marsupial.
The females have a pouch in which
they carry and nurse their young.
The koala portray an image of cuddliness, but with long sharp
claws for climbing they can be
quite vicious if provoked.
πΏπ¨πΏ
Reverse Design
A young koala sitting on a branch is portrayed on the reverse.
It has been gilded with 24 carat gold utilizing state of the art technology to highlight the Australian icon.
A shimmer background is seen
behind the koala.
The Perth Mints mintmark is
hidden on the branch.

Obverse Design
Ian Rank-Broadley current portrait of Queen Elizabeth II is shown on the obverse. Also included are the inscriptions "Queen Elizabeth II", "Australia" and "1 Dollar".

I don't have any yet but I really like the gilded coins, it adds a whole new dimension to the coin. Makes the features of the design really stand out. These are two amazing coins you have.
These are beautiful in Silver, and then with the gilded they just stand out @saffisara
Awesome additions to your stack!!!
Great silver pieces, @saffisara. You know that "only a handful" of silver is a lot! And it is better than not having an ounce of silver at all. You hold it, you own it... which is much more than what many can say about cryptos.
Have a great day, my sweet friend, and take care π₯°πΊπ€
Beautiful coin my friend. So shiny. !tip

Sending tips with @tipU - how to guide.
There always seems in my mind a little competition between the Australian Koala and the Chinese Panda in the Cute Animal Category and admittedly I will go to the Cuddly Koala most of the time for a variety of reasons. For one you get the extra gram of silver with the Koala, second is if held a live tame Koala in Australia I can get a Tourist photo of it, whereas in China If I try to hold a Panda bear the People's Police with put me in a jail.
Lotsa love @saffisara
They are both beautiful! I like the details and each is unique. Thanks for sharing these with us, sis! Take care and have a good day!π€π
