| Reverse description | A highly detailed, naturalistic depiction of a koala at rest, clinging to the fork of a eucalyptus tree and surrounded by gum leaves rendered in fine relief against a frosted proof field. The legend AUSTRALIAN KOALA arcs along the upper border, while the date 2013, weight denomination 1/10oz, and purity specification 9999 GOLD are inscribed along the lower field. The Perth Mint's P mintmark appears discreetly to the lower right of the central design. The design is executed by Tom Vaughan and conveys the marsupial's characteristic dense, fluffy fur with exceptional engraving precision. |
