1 oz Silver Coin - 2022 Australian Quokka - Perth Mint
Perth Mint Silver Quokka
The quokka is a small type of wallaby found mainly in the south west region of Western Australia, particularly in Rottnest Island, an idyllic location 18 kilometers off the coats near Perth. About the size of a cat, the quokka has thick, gray-brown fur, a broad face, shiny black eyes, and round furry ears. Thanks to its cute, smiley appearance and an acceptance of humans, the quokka has become a popular subject for selfies. This is the third Quokka Silver BU release from The Perth Mint. The cute creature is featured on 1 ounce of .9999 fine Silver, and the coin also includes a security feature, only detectable under a magnifying glass.
- Obverse: The Jody Clark likeness of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and the monetary denomination.
- Reverse: Portrays a quokka and its joey in a natural setting. The design includes the inscription "QUOKKA" and The Perth Mint's "P" mint mark.
- Sovereign coin backed up the Australian government.
Authentic Feature
This coin includes an authentication feature on the reverse in the form of a micro-laser engraved letter. Detectable under a magnifying glass, it is designed to make it significantly more difficult for the coin to be counterfeited.
