| Additional information |
The quokka — native almost exclusively to Rottnest Island off the Western Australian coast — gave that island its name indirectly: Dutch navigator Willem de Vlamingh, encountering the animals in 1696, mistook them for giant rats and recorded the location as "Ratte nest." Perth Mint's choice reflects a deliberate push in recent years to feature endemic Australian fauna rather than the iconic species already exhausted by decades of coinage programs.
This is among the final issues to carry the sixth portrait of Elizabeth II following her death in September 2022.
