1 oz 2022 Australian Kangaroo Platinum Coin | Perth Mint

No wildlife symbol more powerfully equates with Australia than our beloved kangaroo. In 2022, the marsupial famed for the way it bounds on elongated hind legs, is portrayed on Australian Kangaroo platinum bullion coins by a representation of Stuart Devlin's classic 'red kangaroo' design.

CLASSIC KANGAROO

Skipping over scorched red dirt and spinifex, or seeking shade in sweet-scented eucalypt forest, the kangaroo is as unique as the ancient landscapes it symbolises. In tribute to Australia's most iconic wildlife emblem, The Perth Mint is honoured to present classic kangaroo artistry on this platinum release from Australia’s signature bullion coin series.

ABOUT THE PERTH MINT

The Perth Mint opened in 1899 as the British Royal Mint’s 3rd branch in Australia. The historical Hay Street location handled gold refining until moving to a modern facility in April 1990. Ownership of the mint was transferred to the Government of Western Australia in July of 1970. Under an agreement with the Commonwealth Treasury, they were empowered to mint and market gold, silver, and platinum as Australian legal tender to investors and collectors worldwide. Today, they are amongst one of the elite world mints whose pure gold, silver, and platinum items are trusted without question. Items such as the Australian Nugget, Silver Coin Series (Kangaroo, Kookaburra, Koala, and Platypus to name a few), as well as the Australian Lunar Gold and Silver Coin Series are extensively sought after by bullion investors worldwide.
