The koala is popularly known as the "koala bear" , which erroneously suggests an affinity with bears. It is found along the coast of Queensland, New South Wales and Victoria. It spends most of its life in the highest branches of eucalyptus trees. It is a nocturnally active animal.Its digestive system allows it to digest only the leaves of selected plant species. The koala prefers eucalyptus (Eucalyptus), but also supplements its diet with the leaves of several species from the genera Corymbia , Angophora , Lophostemon , Banksia (Banksia), Leptospermum and Melaleuca . An adult eats between 0.5 and 1 kg of leaves per day. It drinks water infrequently, only when the amount of water in the leaves is reduced due to drought does it drink more often.Since 1927, the koala has been under complete protection. "

This coin is an ideal alternative to traditional gold and silver due to the fact that the annual production of this raw material is only 160 tonnes , meaning that at the moment demand is far ahead of supply. In addition, platinum is a much more durable raw material than gold or silver, which means that coins held for investment purposes will remain completely intact for longer. It is interesting to note that the largest producer of platinum in the world is South Africa, where 140 000 kg of this raw material was mined in 2009. The second largest producer in the world in mining production is Russia with 20,000 kg in 2009."
