The Perth Mint
2024 $1 Australian Quokka 1oz Silver Proof Coin
The Perth Mint is excited to release this beautiful 1oz silver proof coin featuring the latest Australian Quokka design in colour.
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, the quokka has thick, grey-brown fur, a broad face, shiny black eyes and round furry ears. Quokkas were once plentiful throughout Australia’s south west but they are now classified as vulnerable, having suffered from predation by introduced species and loss of habitat.
Each coin is struck by The Perth Mint from 1oz of 99.99% pure silver and issued as legal tender under the Australian Currency Act 1965.
