Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2019 Australian Koala Proof High Relief Coin is that it features a unique high relief design, which gives the coin a three-dimensional appearance. This design is achieved through a special minting process that involves multiple strikes and careful handling to ensure that the coin's details are raised and sculpted in a way that creates a sense of depth and texture. The high relief design is particularly notable on the coin's reverse side, which features a detailed depiction of a koala perched on a branch, creating a sense of realism and depth that is enhanced by the coin's Proof finish.
