| Reverse description | A finely detailed, high-relief depiction of a koala (Phascolarctos cinereus) clinging to and ascending the trunk of a eucalyptus tree, shown in three-quarter frontal view facing the viewer. The animal's distinctive large rounded ears, prominent nose, and dense fur are rendered with naturalistic precision. The legend KOALA is inscribed in the upper field above the central device, and the date 2021 appears in the lower exergue. |

| Additional information |
Part of the Australian Koala bullion series licensed for issue under Solomon Islands authority — a common arrangement that allows Perth Mint to produce legal tender collector pieces without flooding Australian denominational coinage. The fractional gold format, at half a gram, exists almost entirely as a vehicle for entry-level precious metal ownership rather than any numismatic tradition specific to the Solomons.
