Obverse

The obverse design of the 2016 Australian Kangaroo 1/4 oz Silver Coin features the 1998 right-profile portrait of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. Designed by Ian Rank-Broadley, Her Majestys image is accompanied by engravings identifying the Queen, nation of issue, and face value of the coin.

Reverse

The reverse side of each of the 2016 Proof Australian Kangaroo 1/4 oz Silver Coin depicts the image of a hopping kangaroo. The stylized background represents the rising sun in the distance, with its rays of light stretching to the very edges of the coins design field.

The kangaroo is the worlds largest marsupial species, with four recognized subspecies of kangaroo found on the Australian continent. It is loosely related to other marsupials, including Australias wallaby and koala.
