| Obverse description | The third effigy of Queen Elizabeth II faces right, wearing the King George IV State Diadem and pearl drop earrings, as designed by Raphael Maklouf. The legend 'ELIZABETH II AUSTRALIA 5 DOLLARS' arcs around the upper periphery, with the designer's initials 'RDM' truncated below the portrait. The field is smooth and unadorned, characteristic of bullion and proof coinage of the period. |

| Reverse description | A female koala (Phascolarctos cinereus) is depicted in high relief clinging to a eucalyptus branch facing the viewer, with a juvenile joey on her back. The circular legend 'THE AUSTRALIAN KOALA 1/20 OZ. 9995 PLATINUM' surrounds the central device along the periphery. The date '1993' appears in the lower exergue flanked by raised dots, with the Perth Mint 'P' privy mark visible in the lower central field. The mirror-like proof field provides strong contrast with the frosted devices. |
