Wombats are unique marsupials native to Australia, known for their stocky build and burrowing habits. These herbivorous mammals are primarily nocturnal and can be found in forested, mountainous, and heathland areas across the country. There are three extant species of wombats: the common wombat, the northern hairy-nosed wombat, and the southern hairy-nosed wombat. Right now, 2024 1 oz Colorized Australian Silver Wombat Coins are available at JM Bullion.

Each 2024 1 oz Colorized Australian Silver Wombat Coin offered here is individually packaged by the mint. Perth Mint offers each coin in a wombat-themed presentation card that includes a small fold-out stand that allows you to display the coin in its card. The coins boast a colorized application on the reverse focusing on the two wombats in the design, as well as the foliage in the foreground.
One of the most distinctive features of wombats is their backward-facing pouch. Unlike most marsupials, wombats have evolved this adaptation to prevent dirt from entering the pouch while they dig. This arrangement allows them to safely carry their young, called joeys, while excavating their extensive underground burrow systems.
The obverse of the 2024 Colorized Australian Silver Wombat Coin comes with a portrait of His Majesty King Charles III. This bust of Charles III comes from Dan Thorne and debuts on the Silver Wombat Coin in 2024. This left-profile relief depicts the king without a crown on his head.
On the reverse side of 2024 1 oz Colorized Silver Wombats, you’ll find two wombats. Here, a mother is shown with its joey near foliage. The design elements include gum trees, clouds in the background, and birds overhead.
