Iconic annual kangaroo

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.

Bounding design

Evoking the time of day when kangaroos come out to feed, this coin’s stunning artistry captures the approaching twilight in subtle colour. Bathing the bounding marsupials in warmth, the fading sunlight enriches the red soils and golden grasses of the Australian outback. Included on the high relief reverse is The Perth Mint’s ‘P’ mintmark as well as the coin’s weight, purity and 2022 year-date.
