The Australian Silver Kangaroo is one of The Perth Mint’s most recognizable investment-grade bullion coins, combining high-purity silver with a design celebrating Australia’s national wildlife.
Introduced in 2015, the Silver Kangaroo bullion series has become a popular choice for investors seeking government-issued silver backed by the reputation of The Perth Mint.
Each coin contains 1 troy ounce of .9999 fine silver and carries a face value of $1 AUD as Australian legal tender.
The reverse features a red kangaroo bounding across a stylized sunburst background, surrounded by inscriptions identifying the coin’s weight, purity, and year of issue. Unlike the Koala and Kookaburra series, which feature changing annual artwork, the Silver Kangaroo maintains a consistent design that makes it instantly recognizable.
The coin also incorporates a micro-laser engraved security feature on modern issues, designed to make counterfeiting more difficult.
With its recognizable design, government-backed legal tender status, and investment-grade silver content, the Australian Silver Kangaroo is an excellent choice for both beginning bullion buyers and experienced precious metals investors.
