2025 KOALA – 1 Oz Silver Bullion Coin

The koala is one of the most recognizable animals native to Australia. As a marsupial, it carries and nurtures its young in a pouch, making it a unique species. The koala is strongly associated with Australia worldwide and is a beloved symbol of the continent’s wildlife. In 2024, the Royal Australian Mint introduced the Australian Koala bullion series.

Koalas are known for their slow, relaxed lifestyle, spending most of their time resting or sleeping—up to 22 hours a day. This is due to their diet, which consists exclusively of eucalyptus leaves. While these leaves are toxic to most animals, koalas have a specialized digestive system that allows them to process the tough, low-nutrient foliage.
