| Reverse description | A finely detailed depiction of two koalas (Phascolarctos cinereus) nestled together in an intimate embrace occupies the central circular field, their textured fur rendered with naturalistic precision. The pair face one another, conveying a sense of tenderness characteristic of the species. The circumferential legend THE AUSTRALIAN KOALA runs along the upper border, while 1/20 OZ. 9995 PLATINUM appears to the right and the date 1997 is inscribed at the base, all separated by a beaded inner border from the polished outer rim. |
