Quokka 2024 Proof Silver Coin, 1 oz.

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

The silver coin, like many Australian issues, refers to the country's unique and rich fauna. The series focuses on the quokka, an animal closely related to kangaroos. The quokka is an endemic of Western Australia, particularly common in the state of Western Australia. This adorable creature, which often hangs out in the trees, is distinguished by its soft gray fur, large eyes and distinctive happy muzzle expression, which has earned it the nickname "the happiest animal in the world."

The reverse of the silver coin depicts a quokka sitting among the grass, surrounded by small, leafy branches. At the top is the name of the series dedicated to this charming animal. The right side of the reverse shows the letter "P," the symbol of the mint responsible for the annual issuance of this series. The obverse is decorated with an image of King Charles III, as well as the denomination of 1 Australian dollar and the year of issue.
