The Perth Mint is proud to announce the release of the first ever 2016 Australian Kangaroo 1 oz Silver Bullion Coin. The Silver Kangaroo is produced from 99.99% pure silver (.9999), ideal for investors seeking to add pure silver bullion to their portfolios. The weight and purity of each coin is guaranteed by the historic Perth Mint, owned by the State Government of Western Australia.

The silver kangaroo coin’s stunning reverse side depicts the iconic bounding red kangaroo surrounded by rays of sunlight as well as a micro-engraved letter “A” appearing within the first A of “Australian” (which can be seen under magnification) providing added authentication and detection against counterfeits. It also features the inscription AUSTRALIAN KANGAROO, the 2016 year-date and coin specifications as well as The Perth Mint’s traditional ‘P’ mintmark. Issued as legal tender under the Australian Currency Act 1965, the coin’s obverse bears the Ian Rank-Broadley effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and the monetary denomination of $1.00.
