The new design for 2021 on the reverse side portrays an adult quokka and her joey in a natural setting comprising representations of Rottnest Island such as daisies, butterflies, and a bobtail lizard. The idyllic holiday location is home to thousands of quokkas and as is attributed to their apparent smiles, and they’re regarded as the “world’s happiest animal.” Still unintimidated by humans, they readily interact with and approach tourists and visitors who often engage with these small marsupials, eagerly taking photo “selfies” with quokkas, which are posted all over social media pages. The quokka has become a Western Australian icon that is strongly associated with Rottnest Island near Perth. The first release of quokka coins were dated 2020 and depicted one of Australia’s wildlife ambassadors who can only be found in the land down under. The Perth Mint has released their second silver bullion quality one-ounce quokka coins with a changed reverse design, which have now become an annual series.
