    I finally found her initials, on the tree under the Koala: IJ for Ing Ing Jong.

    I didn't notice them at first, and Talisman's website has "Perth Mint engravers (obverse)" as the artist, getting the reverse and obverse mixed up.

    I was going to ask who it was, that saved the koala series, but posting anyway.
    Now I looked for IJ on the stock horse coins and 2013 snake, but couldn't find any initials.

    She also did the HR American Bald Eagle coin and quite a bit more. Good artist.
