2021 Australia $1 1-oz Silver Quokka Colorized Proof NGC PF70 First Releases

The World’s Happiest Animal — In Full Color

Australia is famous for its array of unique animals found nowhere else on earth. And in today’s age of “selfies” taken by people with their cell phones, pictures of these animals have popped up everywhere on social media. Perhaps the most popular images are those that feature the Quokka, a small type of wallaby that has become a social media sensation and the subject of memes across the internet. These images have led to the animal being called the “earth’s happiest animal” as well as the little fur ball being featured on its own coin struck by Australia’s world-famous Perth Mint.

Australia’s Adorable Quokka Depicted In Full Color

Expertly crafted in a full ounce of highly pure 99.99% silver, this $1 legal tender coin features an adorable image of a happy Quokka holding a leaf — its preferred choice of food. The little critter is depicted in full color standing on its hind legs with a lighthouse in the background. About the size of a cat, the Quokka has thick, grey-brown fur, a broad face, shiny black eyes and round furry ears. More importantly for tourists who visit the animal on Rottnest Island in Western Australia, these animals always appear as if they’re smiling and they are utterly unafraid of humans.
