Direct Coins is proud to offer this gorgeous 1/4oz silver proof kangaroo featuring the latest 2017 kangaroo design.
The kangaroo is the largest marsupial surviving on earth today. The animal’s distinctive style of movement, hopping on its hind legs whilst using its large, muscular tail for balance, means it is one of the only animals which is unable to move backwards easily.
<>An unofficial symbol of Australia, the kangaroo features in the Australian national emblem alongside the emu.
Struck by The Perth Mint from 1/4oz of 99.99% pure silver in proof quality, no more than 10,000 of the 2017 Australian Kangaroo 1/4oz Silver Proof Coin will be released in this packaging.
This attractive design features a bounding red kangaroo surrounded by stylised rays of sunlight. The design includes the inscription AUSTRALIAN KANGAROO, The Perth Mint’s ‘P’ mintmark, the 2017 year-date, and the coin’s weight and fineness. The Ian Rank-Broadley effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and the monetary denomination are depicted on the coin’s obverse.
