Australia is a land of many natural wonders and unique species. One of the most memorable of those unique species is the kangaroo. The largest marsupial on the planet, its unique style of movement is made possible by oversized hind legs and a large, muscular tail that helps the animal balance as it hops across the Australian Outback.
Kangaroos are one of many species of animal that are found only on the Australian continent. Considered an unofficial symbol of the nation, the kangaroo is featured alongside the emu on the national emblem of the nation.
On the reverse side of the 2015 1 oz Australian Kangaroo Silver High Relief Proof Coin is the image of a kangaroo as it bounds across a dusty outcrop of the Outback. Behind it, you can see an oversized depiction of the moon rising into the night sky.
The obverse side of the coin features the right-profile portrait of Queen Elizabeth II created by Ian Rank-Broadley. Below the image of her bust are the letters “IRB,” engraved there in a nod to the designer of the Perth Mint’s standard obverse imagery.
Each of the coins in this product listing is available in brilliant, high-relief finish. The reverse and obverse face of the coin appear sunken into the coin’s surface, with the design features standing out from the background with a 3D appearance. The special high-relief proof finish is achieved by striking the blanks multiple times with a special die cast.
