The obverse of the 2025 Australian Silver Koala showcases the first-generation effigy of King Charles III, designed by Dan Thorne. This left-profile portrait reflects a modern approach to royal imagery, with the King depicted without a crown.

On the reverse, the coin features a new design of a koala resting on a gum tree branch. This portrayal highlights the koala’s highly specialized lifestyle, which revolves around long hours of rest and selective feeding on eucalyptus leaves, a diet that demands significant energy conservation.
