Island icons 

Quokkas are wallaby-like marsupials found mainly in the south west region of Western Australia, particularly Rottnest Island, an idyllic location 18 kilometres off the Perth coastline. About the same size of domestic cats, furry quokkas are extremely sociable animals blessed with a cute, smiley appearance that’s made them a popular subject for ‘selfies’ in the age of social media.

Quokka family design

The coin’s coloured reverse portrays a family of happy quokkas standing on white sand amongst colourful foliage. The background depicts the blue Indian ocean and the iconic Wadjemup lighthouse located at the highest point of the island.  Included in the design is the inscription ‘QUOKKA’, the 2025 year-date, and The Perth Mint’s ‘P’ mintmark.
