This 2023 silver coin from the Perth Mint is the third issue of the Australian Wombat Series. The coin was struck from one ounce of 99.99% pure silver and features a colored depiction of a sleeping wombat. Characteristic features such as the wombat's cylindrical body and long claws on its paws are clearly visible. The weight and fineness, the year of issue, the mintmark "P" and the inscription "WOMBAT" are also included in the design. The reverse shows the effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, as well as the dates of her reign "1952-2022" and the denomination "1 DOLLAR".

Wombats are common in Australia and Tasmania and feed mainly on grasses. The nocturnal marsupials are well known for their burrows, crisscrossed by complex tunnel systems. The wide paws and long claws of wombats are made for digging. Thus, wombats build burrows up to 20 meters long and 3.5 meters deep in the earth. The Wombat silver coin in color is limited to 2,500 pieces worldwide and will be delivered in an illustrated blistercard.
