Description
2022 1/4 oz Australian Wildlife Gold Coin
The 2022 Australian Wildlife release from the Perth Mint was a tribute to three of the Australian continent’s most iconic native species: the koala, kookaburra, and kangaroo. The coins issued in this commemorative collection were produced with a limited mintage and showcased a unified reverse design highlighting the distinctive charm and natural grace of these beloved animals. Today, 2022 1/4 oz Australian Wildlife Gold Coins are available.
Coin Highlights:
- Comes with an individual protective flip!
- Showcases the most beloved wildlife of Australia!
- Limited mintage of only 1,000 coins!
- Contains 1/4 Troy oz of .9999 pure gold.
- The face value of $25 (AUD) is fully backed by the Australian government.
- On the obverse is a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II.
- The reverse depicts the koala, kookaburra, and kangaroo.
The kookaburra, with its unmistakable laughing call, is deeply associated with the sounds and spirit of the Australian bush. It regularly appears in songs and children’s rhymes passed down through generations. In contrast, the koala and kangaroo have long served as unofficial mascots of Australia on the global stage, commonly seen on national emblems, coinage, tourism campaigns, and athletic logos.
All 2022 1/4 oz Australian Wildlife Gold Coins are housed in a protective flip. The reverse design brings together Australia’s three hallmark creatures, the koala, kookaburra, and kangaroo, each recognized for their enduring presence in the country’s identity and cultural storytelling.
On the obverse of the 2022 Australian Wildlife Gold Coin is the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. Shown in right-profile with the George IV State Diadem atop her head, this portrait was created by Jody Clark in 2015 and marks the final official image of the Queen used across British, Australian, and Commonwealth coinage during her reign.
On the reverse of 2022 1/4 oz Wildlife Gold Coins, the design unites the koala, kookaburra, and kangaroo in a detailed collage. Beyond their strong cultural symbolism, these animals also carry spiritual weight in Indigenous Australian lore, frequently appearing in Dreamtime narratives that tie the present to the ancient traditions and landscapes of the continent.
