The kangaroo is the most instantly recognizable wildlife symbol of Australia. The world's largest marsupial, females carry their infants around in their pouch for two months after being born. These young kangaroos, called joeys, will stay close to their mothers until about eight months of age. Red Kangaroos hop along on their powerful hind legs and do so at tremendous speed and with incredible grace. In fact, a red kangaroo can reach speeds of over 35 miles per hour! Their massive gait allows them to cover 25 feet in a single leap. The male kangaroos are larger than the females, and sometimes fight over potential mates by leaning back on their tails and boxing each other with their strong hind legs.

Background
The Kangaroo Silver coin from The Perth Mint was initially introduced in 2016. Australia is regarded for all of the bullion coins it produces, although any series that features native wildlife from the continent is sought-after by collectors. Other favorite designs include the laughing kookaburra and another marsupial, the koala. Global fascination with lovable kangaroos, however, makes this Silver 1 oz coin a favorite for many.
The Artwork of Kangaroo Bullion Coins from AustraliaThe obverse of this Silver bullion coin from Australia is struck with a likeness of Her Majesty the Queen of England, and features her name, “Elizabeth II.” The artist Ian Rank-Broadley created the portrait, which has been used on many other coin series, as well. The country of origin also appears, along with the face value of “1 Dollar.” Of course, the Silver used to make this beautiful coin is worth far more than the guaranteed legal tender amount. A proprietary method is used within the design to create a mirror and matte combination finish, which is very difficult to duplicate, adding a verifiable layer of security.
The reverse of this coin features a design created exclusively for this series. The iconic Australian Kangaroo appears, framed by the weight of 1 oz, and a confirmation of the metal and fineness, “.9999 Silver.” A laser-engraved letter within the text, visible under magnification, offers another means of authentication and counterfeit detection.
The 2019 Silver Australian Kangaroo coin depicts the red kangaroo, the largest of all kangaroos.
