DETAILS

Beloved the world over, our signature coin series celebrates Australia’s most emblematic native animal. This  2oz silver coloured coin features the iconic Australian kangaroo in stunning reverse gilded design.

Each coin is struck by The Perth Mint from 2oz of 99.99% pure silver and issued as legal tender under the Australian Currency Act 1965.

The Perth Mint will release no more than 3,000 of the Australian Kangaroo 2024 2oz Silver Proof Reverse Gilded Coin. 

DESIGN

The coin’s reverse portrays a large kangaroo about to leap over a 
parched creek bed. A windmill and water storage tank, depicted in the 
background, are gilded in 24-carat gold. 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. 
The coin’s obverse depicts the Dan Thorne effigy of His Majesty King 
Charles III, and the monetary denomination. 

NOTE ABOUT TREATMENT 

A pioneer of 24-carat gilding on modern numismatic coins, The Perth Mint is noted for releases featuring the 
selective application of this treatment on a coin’s central design motif. The reverse gilded concept switches this 
application to the background design details and in this case is also featured on the coin’s obverse.

PRESENTATION

The coin is housed in a classic display case with a clear lid. Packaged with an illustrated shipper, each coin is accompanied by a numbered certificate of authenticity.
