Signature series

Australia’s most famous marsupial, the kangaroo has appeared on our best known coin series since 1989. Featuring superbly observed portrayals of the iconic animal, the Australian Kangaroo is beloved around the world for design, quality, purity, and an extensive array of exquisite finishes and treatments.

High relief with colour

Coloured elements of the coin’s high relief reverse portray a large kangaroo about to leap over a parched creek bed with a windmill and water storage tank in the background. As well as the inscription ‘KANGAROO’, the design includes the coin’s weight, purity, 2024 year-date, and a ‘P125’ mintmark signifying The Perth Mint’s 125th anniversary.
