Buy Australian Platinum Kangaroo Coins From Australia’s Perth Mint

The 1-ounce platinum Kangaroo just hopped in and Money Metals Exchange is adding it to our lineup of low-cost platinum coins and bars. The coin features Australia’s most iconic animal and buyers can expect the amazing quality of coins made by the Perth Mint. Australia’s official government mint is revered for its beautifully made and interesting coins which can be purchased at a lower cost than comparable government issue coins, including those from the US Mint.

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.

Each Kangaroo is minted from 1 troy ounce of .9995 pure platinum. The coin’s obverse carries the standard portrait of Queen Elizabeth II. The words ” Elizabeth II”, “Australia”, and “100 Dollars” are stamped around the circumference.

The reverse features an adult red kangaroo in motion. Text on this side of the coin includes “2018 1 oz 9995 Platinum”, and “Australian Kangaroo”.

All details are sharp and clear, with portions of the artwork done in a matte finish and key features done in a brilliant proof-like mirror finish. Each coin is packaged and protected in a hard, clear plastic capsule from the mint. The quality of Perth Mint coins really must be seen to be fully appreciated.

The coins can be purchased in any quantity, but arrive from the Mint in boxes of 100. Inside the box are 5 rolls of 20 coins each.

The Platinum Kangaroo is guaranteed for weight and purity by the Australian government. The $100 Australian Dollar face value puts the coin among the highest denominations available for a 1 oz coin.
