Quokkas are kangaroo-like marsupials found mainly in the south-western region of Western Australia, particularly on Rottnest Island, an idyllic spot 18 kilometres off the coast near Perth. Hairy quokkas are about the same size as domestic cats, and are extremely sociable animals blessed with cute, smiley faces and highly photogenic looks.

The coin portrays a happy looking quokka sitting on its hind legs among vegetation. Included in the design is the inscription ‘QUOKKA’ and The Perth Mint’s ‘P’ mintmark.

The coin bears the official Queen Elizabeth II Memorial Obverse, featuring the Jody Clark effigy supplemented with the dates of Her Majesty’s reign – ‘1952 – 2022’. Also included on the obverse is the coin’s monetary denomination.

Limited mintage - 30,000

Each coin comes in a protective plastic capsule.
