Iconic animal

First issued in 1989, the Australian Kangaroo is an iconic annual coin series portraying our most recognised animal symbol. Treasured for the way they hop on elongated hind legs and rear young ‘joeys’ in the female’s pouch, tens of millions of kangaroos inhabit diverse landscapes across the vast Australian continent.

Kangaroo design

Featuring noticeably raised relief, the coin’s reverse portrays a wonderfully composed portrait of two kangaroos framed by native grass trees in flawless proof quality. Included in the design is the inscription AUSTRALIAN KANGAROO and The Perth Mint’s ‘P’ mintmark.
