Silver Ounce 2025 Aussie Bubs, Coin from Australia - detailed information

The Australian one ounce silver piece (abbreviated as 1 oz and designated with Ag for "silver") is a bullion and commemorative coin format. Uniquely, in Australia there are two mints authorised to strike legal tender: the Royal Australian Mint (which also makes the country's circulating coinage) and the Perth Mint which only makes collector and bullion coins, as well as other bullion products.

Both mints endeavour to create coins with attractive designs, and to introduce new designs and themes often, in order to raise the numismatic value of the coins over the value of previous metal used.

This one-ounce silver proof coin was issued as a baby gift idea. Its design is similar to the one dollar released in the annual baby set. The set, and this coin, are called Aussie Bubs (from Australian: Australian babies).

The mint says about it:
The cute as a button quokka joey has been given a glow-up, and is now a perfectly playful and premium "welcome" gift for that extra-special newborn. The Royal Australian Mint first introduced its annual baby sets in 1995, celebrating classic Australian children’s stories such as Blinky Bill, Dot and the Kangaroo and Possum Magic. For the last four years, the Mint’s Baby Coins have celebrated Australia’s iconic circulating designs reimagined in a joyous baby themed makeover. For 2025, a whole new gang of Aussie Bubs have been assembled to keep the celebration going.
