2013 1/2oz Silver Proof Bush Babies II - WOMBAT

The Fifth and final release in the Bush Babies II five-coin series.

The final release in this cute collectable series depicts a baby wombat.  Wombats are short-legged marsupials native to Australia.  Nocturnal by nature, the animal emerges at night to feed on grasses, roots and bark.

Wombats are generally not seen, but leave ample evidence of their passage.  The wombat also has a backwards-facing pouch, so that while digging burrows, dirt does not spill over its young. The Ian Rank-Broadley likeness of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and the monetary denomination are shown on the obverse. Each Silver coin is housed in a presentation display case and superbly illustrated shipper along with a numbered CoA. 

The final release in the Australian Bush Babies II series depicts an adorable baby wombat.  The wombat is a marsupial native to Australia.  Despite its fearless nature, the creature has a short-legged muscular frame, which causes him to move slowly. 

Mintage of only 10,000!
