Obverse

The obverse face of Australian Kangaroo 1 oz Silver Coins includes a depiction of Queen Elizabeth II. In this series, you will find one of two effigies of the Queen on the obverse. The first two issues in 2016 and 2017 featured the Ian Rank-Broadley design from 1998 that showed the Queen in right-profile relief wearing the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland Tiara. All coins in this series issued from 2018 to the present include the right-profile bust of the Queen at age 89 as created by Jody Clark. This image was created in 2015 by Jody Clark and depicts the Queen with the George IV State Diadem Crown on her head.

Reverse

On the reverse side of Australian Kangaroo 1 oz Silver Coins, you will find a design reminiscent of the 1930s copper penny issued in Australia. The design depicts a kangaroo in left-profile relief as it leaps along the Outback. The kangaroo is the largest living marsupial and moves using its powerful hind legs and muscular tail to balance.

History

Australian Kangaroo Silver Coins have been available from the Perth Mint for years, but original issues in the series were only available as proof and high-relief proof 1 oz silver coins. When the bullion Australian Kangaroo 1 oz Silver Coin was introduced in 2016, it became the first annual-release bullion coin from Perth with .9999 pure silver content.
