Rottnest Island, located off the coast of Western Australia, serves as the primary sanctuary for the world’s most concentrated population of quokkas, with approximately 10,000-12,000 of these marsupials calling the island home.

Rottnest Island is a popular tourist destination in Western Australia, where visitors often try to get a close-up glimpse of quokkas in the wild. The island’s car-free environment and protected status have created an ideal habitat where quokkas can roam freely, leading to countless viral social media moments as these naturally curious and seemingly smiling creatures approach visitors for what has become known as the “quokka selfie.”

All 2025 1 oz Proof Colorized Australian Quokka Silver Coins are individually packaged in a classic Perth Mint display with an acrylic lid. The coin is packaged in a themed outer shipper and comes with a Certificate of Authenticity. This version of the coin offers colorized enhancements on the 2025 Quokka design.

On the obverse of 2025 Proof Colorized Australian Quokkas is a bust of King Charles III. This left-profile bust of His Majesty was created in 2024 by Dan Thorne and is the first-generation portrait of the King for Australian coins. It depicts His Majesty without a crown.

The reverse side of the 2025 1 oz Proof Colorized Quokka Silver Coin features a quokka family with the Wadjempu Lighthouse in the distance. Quokka social structures are fascinating examples of flexible family arrangements in the marsupial world, where females typically form loose aggregations with their offspring while males remain more solitary except during breeding season. The Wadjemup Lighthouse, standing 32 meters tall on the western tip of Rottnest Island, has been guiding vessels safely through the treacherous waters off the Western Australian coast since 1849.
