The Australian Kangaroo
The beloved kangaroo is an instantly recognized symbol of Australia and is featured in its official coat of arms. This marsupial is known as an Australian icon and can be recognized by its muscular tail, strong back, short fur, pointed ears, and ability to hop at a rapid speed on its hind legs.
- Obverse: Bears the Jody Clark likeness of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and the face value.
- Reverse: Features the classic red kangaroo design by Dr. Stuart Devlin, surrounded by a radiating design meant to symbolize sunlight, along with a micro-engraved letter appearing under magnification.
- Sovereign coin backed by the Australian government.
Silver Kangaroo Series
Continuing the tradition of Gold Kangaroo coins, The Perth Mint released the first Silver Kangaroo in 2015 in a limited mintage of 300,000 coins, then continued to present day as a more widely available Silver bullion release. Australian Silver Kangaroo coins feature a classic design of a hopping red kangaroo and a sunburst design created by Dr. Stuart Devlin. The same design is also found on The Perth Mint's 1 kilo Gold bullion coins. Struck in 1 oz of .9999 fine Silver, boasting a micro engraved security feature and a face value of $1 (AUD) backed by the Australian Government, the Silver Kangaroo coin series became an instant classic among investors and collectors across the world.
Presentation & Mintage
Each Australian Kangaroo 2023 1oz Silver Bullion Coin is presented in a protective acrylic capsule & an individual bullion bag.
Production will close at the end of 2023, after which The Perth Mint will declare the coin's official mintage.
