1 oz Kangaroo Silver Coin 2025

Description

Background Information

The Australian kangaroo is recognized worldwide as a symbol of Australia, representing freedom, a connection to nature, and strength, and it is revered by the Indigenous people of the country. The “Australian Kangaroo” series from Perth Mint honors this iconic animal, whose name derives from the word “gangurru” in the language of the Guugu Yimithirr, an Indigenous Australian group. Since its introduction, the series has become one of the most sought-after silver coins globally.

Reverse

The reverse side features a leaping kangaroo surrounded by stylized sun rays, reflecting the expansive Australian sky. This dynamic design gives the coin a lively yet powerful appearance. Along the rim on a wave-patterned background are inscriptions reading “AUSTRALIAN KANGAROO,” the weight of 1 oz, the purity of 99.99% silver, and the mint year “2025.” The design is completed with the traditional “P” mintmark of the Perth Mint.

Obverse

The obverse displays the portrait of King Charles III, created by artist Dan Thorne. Accompanied by the face value, the coin is recognized as legal tender in Australia. The image of King Charles III adds both contemporary and historical significance to the coin.
