With the 1 oz Silver Wombat 2022 Coloured, you secure one of the most sought-after collector's coins in recent Perth Mint history. The coloured edition is limited to a mintage of just 2,500 pieces – setting it clearly apart from the classic bullion version of the same year, which was issued in a far higher quantity. It is precisely this strict limitation that makes the coloured silver ounce coin such a sought-after rarity.

The Design: The Australian Wombat in Full Colour

The obverse shows a finely coloured wombat roaming on all fours through its natural habitat. The cylindrical, sturdy body and long digging claws are worked out in detail – typical features of this nocturnal marsupial. Wombats are true builders: their underground burrow systems extend several metres deep into the earth. Above the animal is the inscription "WOMBAT", complemented by the Perth Mint's "P" mint mark as well as the information "2022 1oz 9999 SILVER". The reverse bears the portrait of Queen Elizabeth II designed by Jody Clark and the face value "1 DOLLAR". As the second issue in the Australian Wombat series launched in 2021, this year's edition features its own new design.

Why This Silver Coin from Australia Delights Collectors

As a coloured silver coin in such a low mintage, the Wombat 2022 is a prime example of a highly sought-after collector's coin. Silver has been used as a coinage metal for centuries and is valued in many cultures as a symbol of prosperity and prestige. The precious metal is considered a proven store of value, is well tradable and liquid worldwide, and can easily be passed on thanks to its small denominations. At the same time, a silver coin from Australia in this format is comparatively affordable – an advantage that makes it easier to start building a high-quality collection.

The special appeal here lies in the combination of an endearing animal design, elaborate colouring, and the very low mintage. Where supply is scarce and demand among enthusiasts is high, such a rarity develops a noticeable appreciation potential. Those who have followed the series from the beginning now hold, with this edition, a key link between the Perth Mint's popular Australian animal series.

Tax Note

The coin is offered under the margin scheme pursuant to §25a UStG. Profits from the private sale of silver are generally tax-free in Germany, provided the minimum holding period of one year is observed. Thus, the 1 oz Silver Wombat 2022 combines collector's appeal with the well-known benefits of physical silver.
