When you purchase one of these 2010 Proof Australian Kangaroo 1 oz Silver Coins from Provident Metals, this listing provides you with a perfect specimen. When the NGC assigns a PF70 grade to a proof coin, it is an indication that the specimen showcases full, original mint luster and presents with no detracting flaws. The high-relief strike of the designs creates greater 3D relief on the design elements while also creating greater visual depth in the background field.

Obverse

The obverse side of 2010 Proof Australian Kangaroo Silver Coins features a bust of Queen Elizabeth II. Designed in 1998 by Ian Rank-Broadley, this is one of the most popular portraits of the Queen to grace Commonwealth coinage during her record-setting reign. It features the Queen in right-profile relief wearing the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland Tiara. The inscriptions on this face of the coin read ELIZABETH II, AUSTRALIA, and 1 DOLLAR.

Reverse

On the reverse field of 2010 Proof Australian Kangaroo 1 oz Silver Coins is a depiction of two kangaroos. These two individuals are locked in a battle with one another. Standing on their powerful hind legs, each one uses its tail for balance and its short arms to deliver punches to the face of its opponent. The inscriptions on this side include AUSTRALIAN KANGAROO, 2010, 1 OZ, 999, and SILVER. There is also a P mint mark from Perth Mint.
