Historical Significance
Introduced in 2016, the Australian Kangaroo Silver Bullion series quickly became one of the Perth Mint's flagship investment products. Struck in 99.99% pure silver, the series competes alongside some of the world's most popular bullion coins, including the American Silver Eagle, Canadian Silver Maple Leaf, and Austrian Silver Philharmonic.
The 2017 issue continued the series' distinctive design featuring Australia's iconic red kangaroo against a field of radiating sun rays. It also includes the Perth Mint's innovative micro-laser engraved security mark, a hidden letter incorporated into the reverse design to help verify authenticity and deter counterfeiting.
Today, Australian Kangaroo silver bullion coins are recognized worldwide for their exceptional purity, government backing, and outstanding strike quality.
