Part of Perth Mint's long-running Australian state animal series, this issue celebrates the common wombat as representative fauna of South Australia, though the species' range extends well beyond that single state. The series was designed partly to capture the growing international collector appetite for Australian wildlife themes that surged through the 2000s — a market Perth Mint exploited with considerable commercial discipline.
KM# 1466 is a one-year type with no subsequent restrike on record for this specific state-animal pairing.
