Description
The Perth Mint began the Kangaroo series of coins with a gold version in 1989. Production began for silver Kangaroos in 2016. The platinum version was first issued in 2018, and it replaces the Platypus, the Mint’s original coin offering in platinum.
All 2025 1 oz Australian Platinum Kangaroo Coins offered here come in Brilliant Uncirculated condition. Individual coins are housed in capsules, while multiples of 20 are protected in tubes. Multiples of 100 come in boxes that hold a total of 5 tubes. Perth Mint introduced the Platinum Kangaroo in 2018 and it shares the same historic design of the kangaroo as the Silver Kangaroo bullion coin.
On the obverse of 2025 Australian Platinum Kangaroos is the effigy of His Majesty King Charles III. Designed in 2024 by Dan Thorne, this left-profile relief depicts Charles III without a crown on his head.
The reverse side of the 2025 1 oz Platinum Kangaroo features a kangaroo bounding along in left-profile relief. Based on a historic copper penny design, this image shows the kangaroo bounding through the design field with stylized sunlight emanating from behind the figure.
