In addition to the eponymous and successful gold coin of the Perth Mint, which is minted since 1986, there is also the silver version as a bullion coin since 2016. The most famous animal of Australia – the kangaroo – is imprinted on the motif side. Previously, there were already silver coins of the Perth Mint with various motifs such as the Kookaburra, the Lunar series or the silver koala bear.
Due to the ever-increasing demand for silver, the coin becomes increasingly more popular.
In addition to the kangaroo, the year of minting, the fine weight and the fineness are also imprinted on the motif side. Like every Commonwealth coin, the reverse of the coin bears the portrait of the British royal monarch.
The face value of this Australian silver coin is $1 and is legal tender in Australia. The fineness of the silver is 999.9 and can be purchased individually as 1oz as well as in coin tubes. The kangaroo silver coin is also available in a so-called master box. The masterbox cointains 10 tubes á 25 pieces.
