Quokkas are small herbivores that typically weigh between 2.5 and 5 kilograms. They are known for their friendly nature and remarkable ability to thrive in their island habitats. Their photogenic smiles have made them popular on social media and a favorite of wildlife enthusiasts worldwide.

The obverse of the 2024 Proof Colorized Australian Quokka Silver Coin features King Charles III in left-profile relief, without a crown. This portrait was designed by artist Dan Thorne and marks the continued evolution of Perth Mint coinage with its regal simplicity.

On the reverse of 2024 1 oz Proof Colorized Quokka Silver Coins, you’ll find a vibrant depiction of a quokka standing upright with a curious expression. While quokkas are adored for their cheerful look, they face conservation challenges, including threats from introduced predators, habitat loss, and climate change.
