Kangaroos are unique to the Australian continent. Although Aboriginal tribes on the continent have been familiar with the creatures for thousands of years, the Western world was first exposed to these unique marsupials when the HMS Endeavour reached the coast of Australia after a collision with the Great Barrier Reef. Under the command of Lieutenant James Cook, Westerners first sighted the kangaroo.

Her Majesty features here in right-profile relief in the popular 1998 design from Ian Rank-Broadley and was initially created for the Royal Mint. The design came to Australian coins the next year in 1999 and appears on coinage from both the Perth Mint and the Royal Australian Mint. In this design, Her Majesty is shown wearing the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland Tiara.
