Product Description

New from The Perth Mint! The quokka, a small type of wallaby, is found mainly in the south west region of Western Australia (particularly Rottnest Island) an idyllic location 18 kilometres off the coast near Perth. About the size of a cat, the quokka has thick, grey-brown fur, a broad face, shiny black eyes and round furry ears. 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.
