Kangaroos hold immense cultural and ecological significance in Australia as the nation’s most iconic marsupial and unofficial national symbol. Koalas represent one of Australia’s most beloved and distinctive native species, serving as important indicators of ecosystem health in eucalyptus forests along the eastern and southeastern coasts. Kookaburras, particularly the laughing kookaburra, are treasured as Australia’s largest kingfisher species and are renowned for their distinctive call that resembles human laughter.

All 2022 2 oz Australian Silver Wildlife Coins come with protective plastic flips. This release celebrates three of Australia’s most important natural species, while also focusing on the animals that form the backbone of Perth Mint’s annual bullion coin collections.

On the obverse of 2022 Australian Silver Wildlife Coins, you will find the final portrait of Queen Elizabeth II during her lifetime. Initially designed by Jody Clark as the Royal Mint’s fifth-generation effigy of Her Majesty, this right-profile relief was actually the sixth of Her Majesty to feature on Australian coins. It depicts the Queen at the age of 89 wearing the George IV State Diadem.

The reverse side of the 2022 2 oz Silver Wildlife Coin comes with a depiction of all three major species that call the Australian bush home. The design element depicts a large kookaburra perched on a branch, while a kangaroo bounds across the top of the design element and a koala gazes into the distance at the bottom of the design.
