Rottnest Island sits just off the coast of Western Australia and is known for its large population of quokkas—small, friendly marsupials. Around 10,000 to 12,000 quokkas live on the island, which also features the historic Wadjemup Lighthouse. This scenic location sets the stage for the 2025 Quokka design from the Perth Mint. Now, you can find the 2025 1 oz Proof Colorized Australian Quokka Silver Coin available at BullionMax.

Rottnest Island is a car-free, protected area that gives quokkas a safe place to live and thrive. Tourists often visit to see these animals up close, and many try to take a “quokka selfie” as the curious creatures approach. This unique setting inspired the colorful reverse design of the 2025 coin.

Each 2025 1 oz Proof Colorized Australian Quokka Silver Coin is shipped in a classic Perth Mint display case with a clear lid. The coin is housed in a themed outer shipper and includes a Certificate of Authenticity. This version features color enhancements to bring the quokka scene to life.

The obverse of the 2025 Proof Colorized Australian Quokka Silver Coin shows a left-facing portrait of King Charles III. This new design was created in 2024 by Dan Thorne and is the first version of the King to appear on Australian coins. He is shown without a crown.

On the reverse, you’ll find a quokka family set against a background of Rottnest Island, with the Wadjemup Lighthouse in view. Female quokkas usually stay close to their young, while males are more independent, coming together during mating season. The lighthouse itself has been in operation since 1849 and continues to guide ships past the island’s coastal waters.
