Quokka 2021 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 a friendly Quokka sitting on the ground. It is holding a small leaf in its paws. At the very top is the name of the series. On the obverse we have a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II along with the weight and silver proof of the coin. The year of issue and the denomination of one Australian dollar are also placed here.
