The obverse carries Dan Thorne’s left-facing portrait of King Charles III, the effigy that debuted on Australian coinage in 2024. CHARLES III and AUSTRALIA circle the upper rim, and the 15 DOLLARS denomination anchors the bottom, all struck on a clean brilliant field ringed by a reeded edge.
The reverse shows a koala gripping the trunk of a eucalyptus tree, its rounded ears, broad nose, and dense coat rendered in fine textured detail. Eucalyptus leaves fan out on both sides, and the animal holds a leafy sprig in one paw. KOALA arcs across the top in bold letters above the scene, with the inscriptions 2024 1/10oz 9999 GOLD along the left rim. In the lower left field sits the P125 mintmark, a one-year mark honoring 125 years of minting in Perth since the facility opened in 1899.
Each coin arrives in Brilliant Uncirculated condition, sealed in a fitted protective capsule. At 9999 fineness the coin exceeds IRS purity requirements and is fully eligible for precious metals IRAs.
