While human interactions with other marsupials on the Australian continent are not uncommon, the type of interactions humans often have with quokkas are entirely unique when compared to kangaroos or koalas. Quokkas have little fear of humans and will commonly approach people visiting Rottnest Island. In fact, in the 2010s, it became commonplace on social media to see people taking selfies with accommodating quokkas.

Obverse

On the obverse side of 2022 Proof Colorized Quokka 1 oz Silver Coins, you will find the sixth-generation portrait of Queen Elizabeth II to feature on Australian coins. Her Majesty is shown here in right-profile relief at the age of 89 wearing the George IV State Diadem Crown. This design was created in 2015 by Jody Clark. Inscriptions on this face read ELIZABETH II, AUSTRALIA, 1 OZ 9999 AG, 2022, and 1 DOLLAR.

Reverse

The reverse field of the 2022 Proof Colorized Australian Quokka Silver Coin depicts two quokkas. Here, you will see a mother with its Joey amidst the daisies of Rottnest Island. This field of the coin has colorization capturing the natural fur color of quokkas, as well as the blue of the daisies from the island. Inscriptions on this side of the coin include QUOKKA and the P mint mark from the Perth Mint.

History

The Australian Quokka Silver Series debuted in 2020 and, like other Perth Mint collections, offers new reverse designs each year.
