2022 $1 Quokka 1oz Silver Bullion Coin in Capsule - Perth Mint
Mintage 30,000
Third release in the Quokka series features a superb new artistic impression of the iconic Western Australian marsupial.
Quokkas are wallaby-like marsupials found mainly in the south west region of Western Australia, particularly Rottnest Island, an idyllic location 18 kilometres off the coast near Perth. About the same size of domestic cats, furry quokkas are extremely sociable animals blessed with a cute, smiley and highly photogenic appearance.
The coin portrays two quokkas at a waterhole with nearby Rottnest Island daisies. The design includes the inscription ‘QUOKKA’ and The Perth Mint’s ‘P’ mintmark.
The Jody Clark effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II appears on the obverse with the coin’s weight and fineness, the monetary denomination and 2022 year-date
