| Reverse description | A finely detailed, close-up portrait of a koala's face fills the central field, rendered with careful attention to the animal's characteristically large, rounded ears fringed with tufted fur, broad flattened nose, and alert eyes. The design occupies the majority of the reverse field, conveying a naturalistic and sculptural quality. The inscription 0.5 GRAM 9999 GOLD is engraved in a straight line along the lower portion of the field. The Perth Mint's P mintmark appears in small relief to the lower right of the koala portrait. |
