2020 Australia $1 1-oz Silver Quokka Reverse Struck Through Error NGC MS69 First Releases w/Flag Label

Australian Quokka Coin Features Unique Error

It's rare for a mint as highly regarded as Australia's famous Perth Mint to make a mistake, but that's exactly what happed during the striking of its 2020 One-Ounce Silver Quokka coins. Sometime during the production of this coin, a foreign object or substance got between either the die or the planchet during the striking of the coin and left an impression, or lack of normal detail. This is an error coin classified as an "reverse struck through" specimen and we've managed to secure a handful of these coins and we're making them available on a first-come, first-served basis to our customers.

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.

Near Perfect Grade From Among The First Released

In addition to this Silver Quokka being a unique error coin, it has also been graded by the Numismatic Guaranty Company (NGC) as being in near-perfect Uncirculated Mint State-69 (MS69) condition, a distinction that means your almost-flawless coin will showcase an impressive full strike and indistinguishable imperfections–well above and beyond the quality of the vast majority of coins in the series. In addition, NGC has pedigreed this coin with a First Releases (FR) certification, meaning that your coin was received by NGC or an NGC-approved depository within the first 30 days of the coin's release. Plus, the coin also features 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 in addition to being completely sold out at the mint, only a limited few have been discovered with this unique error. Each will come sonically sealed in an acrylic holder with an exclusive Australian Flag label. Let the tourists take a selfie of these animals while you bring home this silver coin for yourself.
