10 Dollars - Elizabeth II 4th Portrait - Koala Road Sign

The "koala road sign" coins belong to a short-lived Royal Australian Mint series drawing on the distinctly Australian phenomenon of fauna warning signage — those yellow diamond markers that have puzzled overseas visitors since the 1970s. Australia's road sign aesthetic became a minor cultural export largely through tourism photography, and the Mint leaned into that recognition for this collector release.

KM#2947 is a five-ounce issue, placing it in the mid-tier of the RAM's larger bullion-adjacent collector formats from this period, which increasingly competed with Perth Mint releases for the international silver collector market.
