Obverse

Depicted on the obverse of the 2023 Australian Silver Wombat Coin is a memorial design featuring Queen Elizabeth II, with a Jody Clark portrait from 2015 as its basis. The design exhibits a right-profile effigy of the Queen wearing the George IV State Diadem, along with date marks from 1952-2022 to celebrate her reign.

Reverse

The reverse of the 2023 1 oz Silver Wombat Coin displays an image of a sleeping wombat in a curled-up position amid native foliage from Australia.

History

Wombats have a unique defense mechanism where they use their hard and thick buttocks to crush predators against the roof of their burrow or a rock wall. This is known as the “wombat wallup.” Wombats have a lifespan of around 15 to 20 years in the wild and up to 30 years in captivity. They are listed as vulnerable or endangered due to habitat loss, road accidents, and disease.
