| Reverse description | A naturalistic high-relief depiction of a koala (Phascolarctos cinereus) seated and clinging to a eucalyptus tree branch, rendered with fine detail to the fur texture and facial features, the animal facing slightly left in a three-quarter view. The Perth Mint's 'P' mintmark appears to the left of the branch in the lower field, accompanied by the inscription '2oz 9999 GOLD' along the left inner border.
