Story

Sociable and smiley

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 Perth coastline. About the same size of domestic cats, furry quokkas are extremely sociable animals blessed with a cute, smiley appearance that’s made them a popular subject for ‘selfies’ in the age of social media.

Happy looking quokka

The coin’s coloured reverse portrays a happy looking quokka sitting on its hind legs among representations of vegetation. Included in the design is the inscription ‘QUOKKA’, the 2024 year-date, and a ‘P125’ mintmark signifying The Perth Mint’s 125th anniversary.
