One of the more recent additions to the Perth Mints copious animal-themed bullion coin portfolio, the Wombat series debuted just last year with a neat little silver coin that seemed to be reasonably popular. It’s back again, and it follows the classic Perth Mint process, honed over decades of Koala, Kookaburra, and Lunar coins, of depicting the same animal in a new pose. We had a good idea of what this one would look like, as the coloured proof version appeared for sale first (below).

It’s a nice pose again, changing from 2021’s head-on look, to a side view of the animal. There’s a smattering of habitat to ground the wombat in reality, but overall, collectors of Perth Mint bullion will know the style intimately. There’s just the one-ounce 0.9999 silver variant on offer, and the mintage remains at last year’s 25,000 units. It’s available now from several dealers, with US and Asian distribution being handled by LPM in Hong Kong. We’ve added this one to our comprehensive guide to all the bullion series put out by the Perth Mint outside their core ranges, which is viewable at the link below.
