2024 Australia $1 1-oz Silver Quokka BU

With Family In Tow, The World’s Happiest Animal Returns For 2024

Australia is famous for its array of unique animals found nowhere else on earth. And in today’s age of “selfies” taken by people with their cell phones, pictures of these animals have popped up everywhere on social media. Perhaps the most popular images are those that feature the Quokka, a small type of wallaby that has become a social media sensation and the subject of memes across the internet. These images have led to the animal being called the “earth’s happiest animal” as well as the little fur ball being featured on its own coin struck by Australia’s world-famous Perth Mint.

A Happy Family Of Quokkas

Expertly crafted in a full ounce of highly pure 99.99% silver, this $1 legal tender coin shows a “happy Family” of quokkas posing on a beach with the famous Bathurst Lighthouse near Perth in the background. Pictured along with the photogenic critters is vegetation symbolic of their natural habitat on Rottnest Island in Western Australia. Included in the design is the inscription “QUOKKA,” and a “P125” mintmark signifying The Perth Mint’s 125th anniversary in 2024. About the size of a cat, the Quokka has thick, grey-brown fur, a broad face, shiny black eyes, and round furry ears. More importantly for tourists who visit the animal at their Rottnest home, these animals—who are utterly unafraid of humans—always appear as if they’re smiling.
