Containing one troy ounce of pure silver in Brilliant Uncirculated condition, this release pairs the security of legal tender with a delightful tribute to one of the country’s most beloved marsupials. Each coin is issued under the Australian Currency Act 1965, blending intrinsic value with collectible artistry.

The wombat—an endearing, burrowing marsupial—is an icon of Australia’s rugged landscapes. Known for its compact build, backward-facing pouch, and surprisingly quick digging skills, it has been woven into Aboriginal lore and symbolizes resilience in the wild. The Perth Mint has continued to highlight this gentle creature in its annual bullion series, drawing attention to its ecological significance while showcasing the mint’s exceptional craftsmanship.
