| Reverse description | The reverse presents a highly detailed, naturalistic depiction of an Australian koala clinging to the trunk of a eucalyptus tree, rendered in exceptional high relief with fine fur texture. The background field is filled with vibrant green colour enamel representing lush eucalyptus foliage, providing a striking contrast against the antique silver finish of the koala and surrounding elements. Eucalyptus branches with rendered leaves frame the composition on both sides in silver relief. The curved legend AUSTRALIAN KOALA arcs along the upper rim, and the year of issue 2022 is inscribed in the lower exergue. The combination of antique finish, selective colour application, and sculptural relief creates a vivid and compelling wildlife portrait. |
