The inscription 1 oz .9999 Au is incused along the lower exergue, confirming the coin's bullion specifications. |

| Additional information |
The Perth Mint's Koala gold bullion series has run continuously since 1986, making it one of Australia's longest-lived annual bullion programs. Unlike the Nugget/Kangaroo series, the Koala design changes each year by statutory requirement, which means no two consecutive issues are identical — a deliberate policy intended to drive collector demand alongside bullion buying.
The "6th Portrait" designation refers to the Jody Clark effigy of Elizabeth II, introduced on Australian coinage in 2019 and now appearing posthumously, following her death in September 2022.
