Australian Koala 2012 1/25oz Gold Proof Coin
The Mint says about this coin:
Australian koala The koala is an internationally recognised symbol of Australia. An arboreal marsupial, it spends most of its time in the trees. It feeds on the foliage of the eucalypt at night. The koala is one of the few mammals, other than primates, that has fingerprints very similar to that of a human. Iconic koala design The reverse design depicts an adult koala sleeping on a branch of a eucalyptus tree. The weight and fineness, and The Perth Mint’s ‘P’ mintmark also feature as part of the design. Presentation packaging Each coin is presented in a prestigious display case, with a coloured illustrated shipper, and accompanied by a numbered certificate of authenticity.
