It's Big, It's Silver, It's a KOALA!
You can almost smell the Eucalyptus-- not really, but these teddy bear Koalas are certainly one of the most popular animals ever to appear on a coin. But what a coin! These .999 silver dollar sized Australian legal tender Koalas picture the beastie clinging to a an eucalyptus tree branch. The deeply faceted background imparts an unbelievable dimensionality. This is a very popular series with collectors because the Koala design changes every year!
