2026 50c Koala Uncirculated Coin – CuNi

The Royal Australian Mint’s 2026 Koala Series celebrates one of Australia’s most loved and recognisable species worldwide. The third release in the series and for the second time will include the 50c Uncirculated Coin. The Royal Australian Mint’s 2026 Koala series, comprising of four coin products, follows the success of the 2025 Koala Series.

Discover the quiet charm of one of Australia’s most iconic native animals with this exquisitely designed uncirculated coin, featuring three koalas in their natural eucalyptus sanctuary. Koalas are known for their gentle nature and tree dwelling lifestyle. They spend most of their lives in eucalyptus trees, feeding on leaves and sleeping in the branches.

Koalas have mastered the art of sleeping and eating. They are often spotted contently munching on gum leaves or fast asleep in the fork of a eucalyptus tree. Although plentiful in some areas, koalas are a vulnerable species in New South Wales, with housing developments and farming leading to their population decline.

This stunning 2026 50c Koala uncirculated coin is the third release in the Royal Australian Mint’s Koala series and has a mintage of 15,000.

DESIGN

The coin’s reverse features three koalas nestled among eucalyptus branches, with eucalyptus leaves forming a pattern in the background, giving a sense of the tree canopy. The reverse also includes the inscriptions “KOALA”.

The obverse of each coin bears the effigy of His Majesty King Charles III sculpted by Daniel Thorne, as well as the monetary denomination and 2026 year-date.
