2021 $1 Australian Quokka Coin & Stamp Cover PNC.
A quokka is a small type of wallaby found mainly in the south west region of Western Australia, particularly Rottnest Island, an idyllic location 18 kilometres off the coast near Perth.
Thanks to its cute, smiley appearance and an acceptance of humans, the quokka has become a popular subject for 'selfies' in the age of social media.
Issued as Australian legal tender, the uncirculated aluminium bronze coin is housed in a beautifully designed card with a circular window revealing the coin's reverse and obverse designs.
The coin's reverse features a quokka on a beach with a lighthouse in the background. Standing on its hind legs, the herbivorous marsupial is eating its preferred diet of leaves. The design includes the inscription QUOKKA and The Perth's 'P' Mintmark and is post marked First Date of Issue 10 March 2021, Perth WA 6000.
The coin's obverse features the Jody Clark effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, the 2021 year-date and the monetary denomination.
