Story

Australia’s most famous marsupial

The Red Kangaroo, the world's largest marsupial, is renowned for its remarkable agility, capable of speeds of almost 50kph. This unique bullion coin series pays tribute to the country's definitive animal emblem that traces its roots back to the Guugu Yimithirr word 'gangurru'. From the arid interiors to the lush bushland parks on the outskirts of cities, kangaroos inhabit every corner of this wide, brown land. Embrace this emblem of Australia and join in celebrating one of Australia's most famous marsupials.

Native design

The coin’s design portrays two kangaroos. One large kangaroo is lying on its side basking in the warm sunlight amongst arid terrain. The other stands tall, ready to bound and leap forward. Pictured in their natural habit, it includes a native Xanthorrhoea australis or more commonly known grass tree. The design incorporates the inscription ‘KANGAROO’, The Perth Mint’s traditional ‘P’ mintmark, the 2025 year-date and the coin’s weight and purity. The coin’s obverse depicts the Dan Thorne effigy of His Majesty King Charles III.
