Context

The second release in the Quokka series from The Perth Mint. The quokka, a small type of wallaby, is 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 size of a cat, 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. Mintage of this silver bullion coin is limited to 30,000 and 15,000 of these are made available outside of Australia. The coins are encapsulated and sold in a sealed rolled of 20, 5 of these rolls packaged into a Perth Mint outer box.
