2020 Australia $1 1-oz Silver Quokka NGC MS70 First Releases w/Flag Label

The World’s Happiest Animal

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.

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 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.

Each coin available here has been graded by the Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC) as being in flawless Uncirculated Mint State-70 (MS70) condition, a distinction that means these perfectly-graded coins have ZERO imperfections — showing all features and fields exactly as the engraver and mint intended. In addition, NGC has certified that these coins are First Releases (FR) coins, meaning that they were among the first struck by the mint and were verified within the first 30 days of issue. Plus, the coins also feature a unique security detail in the form of a micro-laser engraved letter within the design. It is only detectable under a magnifying glass.

Just 30,000 of these 2020 Australia One-Ounce Silver Quokka Coins will be struck for worldwide release and they have been announced as being completely sold out at the mint. Each will be sonically sealed in an acrylic holder with an exclusive Australian Flag label and accompanied by a mint-issued Certificate of Authenticity.
