Adorable kangaroo

Like all young marsupials, a baby kangaroo is known as a joey – a shy and defenceless version of its adult protectors. Beautifully realised, the artistry on this coin captures the creature’s vulnerability to perfection.

Dreamy design

The coin depicts a cute baby kangaroo asleep in a fleece-lined twig basket – a prop that has created a popular trend in newborn photography among parents all around the world. As well as The Perth Mint’s ‘P’ mintmark, the design also incorporates colourful Australian native flowers and wildlife.
