Australian Silver Kangaroo 1 oz

The Australian Silver Kangaroo 1 oz is a new edition to the long line of precious metal products produced by the world famous Perth Mint and promises to become one of the most popular 1 oz silver bullion coins in production today. It is beautifully finished and includes a number of new security features added to both the coin itself and its new packaging.

The Australian Silver Kangaroo 1 oz produced by the Perth Mint contains the following identification: The front of this new silver bullion coin displays a picture of Queen Elizabeth and the lettering around the queen is as follows: ELIZABETH II followed by AUSTRALIA, a small circle and 1 DOLLAR followed by another small circle.

This Australian Silver Kangaroo 1 oz has a legal tender value of one dollar which is largely symbolic because of its silver content but such designation by a sovereign nation provides international status in trading. The lettering around the queen is struck against a finely designed matte background which provides one of the finest security features in the business – and the matte/mirror result is beautiful in the bargain.

The back of the Australian Silver Kangaroo 1 oz uses the same security feature and you will see the words AUSTRALIAN KANGAROO followed by 2016, 1 oz, 9999 SILVER. At the center of the reverse is the familiar red kangaroo surrounded by rays of sunlight. The interplay between the matte and mirror surfaces gives the coin an added elegant dimension and its reeded edge is finely executed.

The presentation of this new bullion coin is also extraordinary. It comes in protective acrylic tubes of 25 coins and there are 10 tubes to an original box making for the first mini-monster box containing 250 coins. This innovation makes for easier handing, each acrylic tube is sealed with the Perth Mint’s tamper evident security seal, and the new box has a transparent top so the consumer can see what is being delivered without opening the box.
