Obverse

The obverse of the 2025 Australian Platinum Kangaroo showcases the effigy of His Majesty King Charles III. Designed by Dan Thorne in 2024, this left-profile relief portrays Charles III without a crown, marking a new era for Australian coinage.

Reverse

On the reverse side of the 2025 1 oz Platinum Kangaroo, you will find a striking image of a kangaroo in mid-leap. This design, based on a historical copper penny, captures the kangaroo bounding gracefully with stylized sunlight radiating from behind it, adding depth and movement to the piece.

History

The Western Grey Kangaroo is one of the four main subspecies found across Australia, thriving in various environments from dry scrublands to lush forests. Their grazing habits are crucial for maintaining the ecological balance, aiding in seed dispersal, and promoting grassland diversity. These kangaroos often indicate the health of their habitat, as they require a careful mix of open spaces and protective areas.
