2022 Perth Mint Kangaroo 1 oz Silver Coin (With Capsule)
We presents the 2022 1 oz Australian Silver Kangaroo Perth Mint Coin, newly arrived from the Perth Mint! These Australian coins are struck with 1 troy oz of .9999 fine silver and feature one of Australia’s most recognizable animals: the red kangaroo. Collectors have enjoyed adding each annual Kangaroo release to their portfolios since the series’ inception in 2016.
Originally founded as a branch of the Royal British Mint, the Perth Mint initially struck historic Gold Sovereign Coins. Since then, it has expanded its product inventory to include a wide variety of silver and gold products. Currently, the Silver Kangaroo coin series is one of the most sought-after and most collected programs from the Perth Mint. Other Perth Mint coins that feature Australian wildlife include the Silver Kookaburra, Gold, and Silver Koala Coins, and Gold Kangaroo Coins.
The obverse continues to bear the right-profile portrait of Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II, surrounded by inscriptions.
The reverse features the jumping red kangaroo with rays of sunlight in the background. A micro-engraved letter “A” inside the design serves as a special security feature. This helps to better secure the Silver Kangaroo coin against counterfeiting.
