The 2021 issue of the Quokka coin from the Perth Mint was struck from one ounce of 99.99% pure silver and is issued in color for the first time. The Quokka is a small type of wallaby found mainly in the south west region of Western Australia. About the size of a cat, the Quokka has thick, grey-brown fur, a broad face, shiny black eyes and round furry ears. Thanks to its cute, smiley appearance and an acceptance of humans, it has become a popular subject for ‘selfies’ in the age of social media. With their always smiling facial expressions they became famous all over the world and one of the most popular photo motives for Australia vacationers. The motive of the silver coin depicts a smiling Quokka on a beach eating with a lighthouse in the background. The design also includes the inscription "QUOKKA" and the traditional mintmark "P" of the Perth Mint. The reverse shows the portrait of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, the fineness and the year of issue. The first Quokka coin in color of the Perth Mint is delivered in the original box including a certificate of authenticity.
