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 of 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. The koala has been under complete protection since 1927. The obverse features an image of the Queen of Great Britain, Elizabeth II, designed by Ian Rank-Broadley. It also shows the face value of the coin ($1) and the inscription 'Australia'. The reverse illustrates an image of a koala above which is a sign with the coat of arms of Berlin.Do you need help?
