2016 Australian Kangaroo High Relief 1oz Silver Proof Coin

The Perth Minthas released the stunning 2016 Australian Kangaroo 1oz Silver Proof High Relief Coin, featuring one of Australia’s most loved marsupials.

The kangaroo is the largest marsupial surviving on earth today. The animal’s distinctive style of movement, hopping on its hind legs whilst using its large, muscular tail for balance, means it is one of the only animals which is unable to move backwards easily. An unofficial symbol of Australia, the kangaroo features in the Australian national emblem alongside the emu.

The Perth Mint will release no more than 18,000 of the 2016 Australian Kangaroo 1oz Silver Proof High Relief Coin in this packaging.

The coin's reverse depicts an adult kangaroo resting on its haunches with the silhouette of another kangaroo in the background.

The coin is housed in a classic grey display case within an illustrated shipper, and accompanied by a numbered Certificate of Authenticity
