The 2023 issue of the Perth Mint Quokka coin was struck from one ounce of 99.99% pure silver and features the popular design in color. The Quokka is a small type of wallaby found mainly in the southwest 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 two Quokkas at a pond. They are surrounded by daisies, rocks and grass. 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 dates of her reign "1952-2022", the fineness and the year of issue. The mintage is limited to only 5,000 pieces worldwide. The colored Quokka silver coin is delivered in the original box including a numbered certificate of authenticity.
