| Reverse description | A common wombat and its joey are depicted in the central field, set within a naturalistic Australian landscape featuring native vegetation, gum trees, perching birds, and stylised clouds in the background. The design conveys a strong sense of wildlife habitat and is rendered in fine relief. The legend WOMBAT arcs along the upper rim, while the mint code P125, date 2024, and bullion specifications 1oz 9999 SILVER appear in the lower field and along the lower rim. |

| Additional information |
Australia's bullion wombat series launched in 2022, initially under Elizabeth II's portrait before her death that September forced a mid-series transition. This 2024 piece carries the first official effigy of Charles III used on Perth Mint issues — Jody Clark's portrait, originally developed for the Royal Mint's UK coinage, adopted by Australian minting authorities for colonial-era continuity. The wombat itself is an unusual choice for a bullion series; most sovereign programs default to apex predators or national symbols with broader international market appeal. Perth backed the animal specifically for its distinctly Australian identity in a competitive collector-bullion crossover market.
