Australian Silver Kangaroo coins are an all-new series offered by the Perth Mint. While kangaroos have featured previously on limited-edition commemorative coins and a proof silver series, the release of this coin marks the start of a brand-new bullion series from the mint. Similar to the Australian Kookaburra and Australian Koala, the coins will be available annually in gold and silver, with new designs featured on the reverse each year.
While all previous silver bullion coins from the Perth Mint included .999 pure silver, the Australian Silver Kangaroo is the first silver bullion coin from the mint to feature .9999 pure silver. Although its silver content is higher, the face value of the coin remains fixed at $1 (AUD) for the 1 oz weight.
Each of the 2016 1 oz Australian Silver Kangaroos listed here is in perfect condition according to the NGC. An MS70 coin has its full, original luster and no detracting flaws of any kind. Early Release coins are those which arrived at the NGC or an approved depository within the first 30 days of its release from the Perth Mint.
The reverse face of each coin bears the all-new kangaroo design, that of the marsupial leaping across the coin face with the sun’s rays emanating from the background. Queen Elizabeth II’s right-profile effigy is found on the back, along with the nation of issue, her name, and the face value of the coin engraved.
