Product Details
Masterful Silversmithing in a Powerful Dimension
With a weight of two kilograms of 999.9 silver, this release from The Perth Mint demonstrates remarkable technical precision. The diameter of 101 millimeters provides a generous stage for the high-relief engraving, whose concave striking fields enable maximum depth of detail. The antique surface finish accentuates shadowed areas and highlights, giving each individual coin its own character. The Perth Mint’s production quality has ranked among the leading standards in the precious-metal sector for decades, which is clearly reflected in the clean lines and flawless surface structure of this edition.
Superior Fact:
The Perth Mint belongs to a select group of the world’s leading mints for premium collector coins. Its high-relief issues are struck with specially developed dies and extra-deep planchets under high pressure, resulting in exceptionally sculptural motifs with sharply defined contours.

Motif and Design
The Power of Nature in Sculptural Elegance
The central motif shows a kangaroo striding through the Australian landscape with calm energy. Every contour reflects the agility and strength of this animal, one of the unmistakable symbols of the continent. In the foreground, a small lizard sits on a rock, adding depth and bringing the composition to life with a natural balance between dynamism and tranquility. The high-relief technique gives the kangaroo’s musculature an especially sculptural appearance. Light reflections glide across the raised areas, creating varying plays of brilliance and shadow depending on the viewing angle. The finest engraving lines capture the vastness of the Outback and lend the coin an almost painterly atmosphere.
The reverse features the officially authorized portrait of Queen Elizabeth II by Jody Clark, combining the Australian theme with a classic numismatic element recognized worldwide as a mark of governmental minting quality.
Historical and Cultural Background
Australian Identity in Noble Silver Coinage
For generations, the kangaroo has been regarded as one of Australia’s strongest national symbols. Its depiction on Perth Mint coins speaks of the bond between nature, history, and national identity. The Perth Mint itself is among the country’s most traditional mints and enjoys an international reputation for its combination of artisanal precision and cultural symbolism. Coin series featuring kangaroo motifs are collected worldwide and are firmly established as major references in the field of high-quality collectible coins.
Exclusivity and Investment Value
Limited Masterpieces as Enduring Precious-Metal Strength
With a worldwide mintage of only 200 pieces, this release ranks among the rarest large-format silver issues from The Perth Mint. The combination of high precious-metal weight, high-relief technique, and antique finish provides a compelling foundation for long-term value retention. The collector-market demand for large-format strikes has been rising continuously for years, and the interest in particularly rare kangaroo silver coins shows a clear trend toward stable resale values. Secure one of the few examples of this strictly limited coin before it sells out.
Special Features
Tangible Presence and Exceptional Material Volume
Holding this coin creates a sense of material substance that only an object of this magnitude can evoke. Two kilograms of pure silver unite visual elegance with an impressive tactile experience. The richness of material influences not only the physical sensation but also price stability, as high fine-silver content tends to result in strong long-term value development. The interplay of weight, artistic craftsmanship, and limited availability makes this piece a coveted choice for collectors with a sense for value and aesthetics.
What Makes This Coin Special?
Its monumental format combined with the strictly limited mintage makes it one of the most impressive Kangaroo silver issues of its time and an outstanding highlight in modern Australian bullion coinage.
