Description
Bullion Now is proud to be the exclusive Australian distributor of the 2022 Perth Mint 1oz Quokka Silver Coin featuring two beautiful quokkas. 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.
Thanks to its cute, smiley appearance and an acceptance of humans, the quokka has become a popular subject for ‘selfies’ in the age of social media.
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.
The Perth Mint will release no more than 30,000 of the Quokka 2022 1oz Silver Bullion Coin.
DESIGN
The coin’s reverse portrays two quokkas near a pond, rocks and Rottnest Island daisies and grass. The design includes the inscription
‘QUOKKA’ and The Perth Mint’s ‘P’ mintmark. The obverse of the coin depicts the Jody Clark effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, the weight and fineness, the monetary denomination and the 2022 year-date.
AUTHENTICATION FEATURE
Each coin’s reverse includes a security feature in the form of a micro-laser engraved letter within the design. It is only detectable under a magnifying glass.
PRESENTATION
The Quokka 2022 1oz Silver Bullion Coin is presented in an acrylic capsule.
