Pièce 1 once d'argent Épreuve numismatique Kangourou australien Haut relief 2015 | Monnaie de Perth

This unique coin celebrates the regular issue bullion 2015 Kangaroo coin.

However, it is twice as thick as a standard coin, and struck in beautiful proof quality.

The kangaroo forms a part of Australia's national emblem, and is considered an unofficial symbol of the country.

The reverse of this coin features a kangaroo hopping through an outback scene at dusk with a marshy background and a full moon hanging over the land.

Both sides of the coin are slightly concave which allowed the die to achieve the high relief strike.

Low mintage means this will be a cherished and rare collectible for many years to come.

ABOUT THE PERTH MINT

The Perth Mint opened in 1899 as the British Royal Mint's 3rd branch in Australia. The historical Hay Street location handled gold refining until moving to a modern facility in April 1990. Ownership of the mint was transferred to the Government of Western Australia in July of 1970. Under an agreement with the Commonwealth Treasury, they were empowered to mint and market gold, silver, and platinum as Australian legal tender to investors and collectors worldwide. Today, they are amongst the elite world mints whose pure gold, silver, and platinum items are trusted without question. Items such as the Australian Nugget, Silver Coin Series (Kangaroo, Kookaburra, Koala, and Platypus to name a few), as well as the Australian Lunar Gold and Silver Coin Series are extensively sought after by bullion investors worldwide.
