The Perth Mint Australian Silver Wombat Coin 2023 is the third coin in the Perth Mint Wombat series and the final coin to depict Queen Elizabeth II's effigy.
Only 25,000 coins were struck globally, and the Perth Mint has sold out of the entire mintage, meaning this coin can now only be acquired through secondary market dealers such as BOLD.The coin contains 1 troy oz of .9999 fine silver in Brilliant Uncirculated (BU) condition and features a new reverse design for 2023.
Founded in 1899 in Western Australia, the Perth Mint is among the world's most trusted sovereign mints.In 2021, Perth Mint launched a new annual bullion series, the Australian Wombat, to complement its flagship Kangaroo, Koala, and Kookaburra series.As with the Wombat series, the reverse design changes annually, making the 2023 coin's design unique to its year of issue.The mintage of each release is limited to 25,000 pieces globally.
The 2023 coin's reverse features a wombat wrapped in a sleeping pose among some of Australia's native plants, including flowers of billy buttons, a bright yellow wildflower found in eastern Australia. A blue fairywren is perched upon the back of the wombat and requires careful viewing to notice. The outer ring includes the Perth Mint's signature "P" mintmark and the inscriptions WOMBAT, 1 OZ .9999 SILVER, and the 2023 date. A micro-laser-engraved security letter is embedded within the design and is only visible under magnification.This security feature is used throughout the Perth Mint's bullion product range.
The obverse features the memorial design of Queen Elizabeth II and marks the final year before the transition to King Charles III on Perth Mint Wombat coins.The design is based on Jody Clark's 2015 portrait of Her Majesty, showing a right-profile view wearing the George IV State Diadem.The portrait is framed by the dates 1952–2022 to commemorate her 70-year reign.The 2023 Wombat serves as an important transition point for numismatists who track changes in royal effigies across coin series.
Wombats are burrowing marsupials found only in Australia across South East Australia, South Australia, and Tasmania.There are three species: the common wombat, southern hairy-nosed wombat, and northern hairy-nosed wombat.They are among the most distinctive mammals on the continent, known for their stocky bodies, powerful digging claws, and burrow systems that can extend up to 100 feet in length.Wombats possess continuously growing incisors and are renowned for producing cube-shaped droppings, which they use to scent-mark rocks and logs.This unusual characteristic is unique within the animal kingdom.Wombats typically live around 15 years in the wild and can reach up to 30 years in captivity.The sleeping posture depicted on the reverse reflects their generally calm nature, although they are primarily nocturnal foragers when active.
Coins are individually packaged in acrylic capsules. Multiples are available in sealed rolls of 20 coins or boxes of 100 coins (5 rolls per box).The coin is produced in .9999 fine silver and is eligible for individual retirement account contribution, though buyers should confirm eligibility with their custodian.
