2025 Quokka Coloured 1oz Silver Proof Coin

The Perth Mint has released 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 as domestic cats, the quokka has thick, grey-brown fur, a broad face, shiny black eyes and round furry ears.

Thanks to its cute, smiley appearance and acceptance of humans, the quokka has become a popular subject for ‘selfies’ in the age of social media.

The Perth Mint will release no more than 3,000 of the Quokka 2025 1oz Silver Proof Coloured Coin.

The coin’s coloured reverse portrays a family of happy quokkas standing on white sand amongst colourful foliage. The background depicts the blue Indian ocean and the iconic Wadjemup lighthouse located at the highest point of the island.

The coin is housed in a classic display case with a clear lid.

Packaged with an illustrated shipper, each coin is accompanied by a numbered Certificate of Authenticity.
