Story

World’s largest burrowing animal

One of the world’s largest burrowing animals, the wombat is perfectly built for tunnelling with powerful limbs and claws. The female even features a backwards opening pouch designed to avoid smothering its joey while digging underground.

Coloured design

The coin portrays a cute, coloured image of a wombat dozing amid flowering billy buttons with a blue fairywren perched on its back. As well as the inscription ‘WOMBAT’ and The Perth Mint’s ‘P’ mintmark, the reverse includes the coin’s weight, purity and 2023 year-date.
