These spectacular 1 oz silver coins feature the iconic Australian kangaroo in a coloured high relief on a background representing their natural habitat. These beautiful coins are limited to 5000 mintage. Get yours before it’s gone!

As an animal that is exclusive to “The Great Down Under,” the Kangaroo serves as an excellent feature for the Perth Mint’s marquee, annual bullion release. The intriguing marsupial is revered for its unique look, incredible leaping ability, and speed. They can leap up to 30 meters in a single bound, move at 48 kilometres an hour, and grow up to 1.8 meters tall.

Known as the Australian Golden nugget until 1989, the series retained the concept of having a dynamic and evolving reverse side design, adding collectability to the golden range of Kangaroos. Since then, the highly popular gold coin has gone on to gain international notoriety adorning the largest bullion coin ever made, at the time in 2014, on tonne Kangaroo with a face value of 1 million Australian Dollars! With 31 years of minting, the Kangaroo is firmly established as a sound and liquid investment!

These unique edition coins feature a coloured variation in high relief of the popular Aussie bullion coin.

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.
