The Perth Mint is pleased to present the Australian Kangaroo 2025 1oz Platinum Bullion Coin.
The Australian kangaroo is a large marsupial endemic to Australia. Identified by its muscular tail, strong back legs, large feet, short fur, and long, pointed ears, the animal has become a much-loved national icon. This unique bullion coin series pays tribute to the country's definitive animal emblem that traces its roots back to the Guugu Yimithirr word 'gangurru'. From the arid interiors to the lush bushland parks on the outskirts of cities, kangaroos inhabit every corner of this wide, brown land.
Struck by The Perth Mint from 1oz of 99.95% pure platinum, this coin is issued as legal tender under the Australian Currency Act 1965. The coin is subject to an unlimited mintage, however, production will close at the end of 2025, after which The Perth Mint will declare its official mintage.
DESIGN The coin’s iconic design portrays a bounding kangaroo surrounded by stylised rays of bursting sunlight. Inscriptions on a wavy-lined border include ‘AUSTRALIAN KANGAROO’ and the coin’s weight, purity, and yeardate, together with The Perth Mint’s ‘P’ mintmark. The coin’s obverse depicts the Dan Thorne effigy of His Majesty King Charles III, and the monetary denomination.
AUTHENTICATION FEATURE The coin’s reverse includes a security feature in the form of a micro-laser engraved letter within the design. It is only detectable under a magnifying glass.
PRESENTATON Each bullion coin is presented in a protective acrylic capsule.
