1 oz, Australia, 2024, Silver - Kangaroo
1 oz, Australia, 2024, 1 AUD, Silver(Ag) Bullion Coin - Kangaroo
The First Australian Silver Kangaroo coin was introduced in 1993 by the Royal Australian Mint; subsequently, the Perth Mint also started issuing Kangaroo bullion coins.
Australia there are two mints authorised to strike legal tender: the Royal Australian Mint (which also makes the country's circulating coinage) and the Perth Mint which only makes collector and bullion coins, as well as other bullion products. Coins from the Perth Mint have the P mintmark.
"No wildlife symbol more powerfully equates with Australia than our beloved kangaroo. In 2020, the marsupial famed for the way it bounds on elongated hind legs is portrayed on Australian Kangaroo silver bullion coins by a representation of Stuart Devlin’s classic "red kangaroo" design. Larger than eastern and western greys, the red kangaroo is Australia’s largest native mammal. Superbly adapted to arid environments, it lives throughout central regions of the continent" as stated by the Mint.
