2025 50c Koala Uncirculated Coin

The Royal Australian Mint’s 2025 Koala series celebrate one of the country’s most loved and recognisable species. The series includes a 50c Uncirculated Coin for the first time, exclusively sold in Australia only. Adorned with a mother and baby koala nestled together on a tree branch, the endearing design will appeal to entry level collectors and lovers of Australian wildlife. The simple yet striking background of eucalyptus leaves and gum nuts ensures the kolas stand out. Koalas have mastered the art of sleeping and eating. They are often spotted contently munching on gum leaves of fast asleep in the fork of a eucalyptus tree. Although plentiful in some areas, koalas are a vulnerable species in New South Wales, with housing developments and farming leading to their population decline.
