Quokka 2023 Color Proof Silver Coin, 1 oz.

Silver collector coin issued in a small mintage of 5,000 pieces.

The quokka is a species of small marsupial inhabiting mainly Rottnest Island on Australia's west coast and some areas on the country's mainland, such as the Cape Naturaliste Peninsula in the state of Western Australia. The animals are known for their cute and friendly appearance, and some people call them "the happiest animals in the world" because of their smiling face. Quokkas have become popular because of their friendly and gentle disposition, which makes them attractive to tourists. However, certain restrictions apply when it comes to interacting with them to protect their health and the environment.

On the reverse of the silver coin, we see 2 young quokkas. One of them is leaning over to drink the water, while the other is leaning against it with her paws. On the right side we see some shore plants. The silhouettes of the animals, as well as the plants, have been colored. The name of the series has been placed at the very top. The obverse shows the right profile of Queen Elizabeth II, along with the weight and denomination of the coin. The coin is delivered in a dedicated manufacturer's box that is also a display box.
