| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse features a stylised, cartoon-inspired depiction of Kip the Koala, a juvenile koala bear shown clinging to a vertical tree branch in a playful, rounded artistic style. The denomination 5 DOLLARS appears prominently to the left of the central motif in bold relief, while the inscriptions 1/25oz and 999.99Au arc vertically along the right side of the field, denoting the coin's gold content and fineness. The overall design is rendered with simplified, child-friendly forms characteristic of the Kip series. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The "Kip" koala — so nicknamed for its weight of one-quarter troy ounce's quarter again, a full gram and a touch — was introduced by the Royal Australian Mint as the smallest denomination in its gold bullion proof program, pitched directly at entry-level collectors priced out of the flagship one-ounce issues. The 2008 date places it squarely in the period when gold was climbing toward its then-record breach of $1,000 USD per troy ounce, making the economics of a sub-1.5 gram proof piece briefly awkward for the Mint's pricing model.
KM#1066 is the catalogue anchor for this specific portrait-and-denomination pairing under Ian Rank-Broadley's effigy, the fourth definitive portrait of Elizabeth II adopted by Australian coinage from 1999 onward.
