Australian coin from the "Bush Babies" series.
A series of commemorative coins from Australia dedicated to the young of the country's most charismatic animals.
This series features sugar glider, koala, kangaroo, bilby, and dingo joeys.
On this coin, minted by the prestigious Perth Mint, we see a koala next to a bee. On the reverse side is Queen Elizabeth II. The koala is a species of diprotodont marsupial, arboreal, whose appearance resembles that of a teddy bear, with calm habits, similar to those of a sloth. The koala reaches a body length of 76 cm; its body is robust and covered with soft grayish-brown fur. The head is large and rounded, with large, rounded, hairy ears.
