On the reverse side of these stunning high-relief coins you’ll find the image of a kangaroo hopping across the Outback, with intricate details of its surroundings found throughout the design. This includes a small lizard resting on a rock in the foreground.

The obverse features the familiar right-profile portrait of Queen Elizabeth II from Ian Rank-Broadley. Each of these 2016 2 oz Australian Antiqued Kangaroo Silver Coins arrives in a presentation themed package that features the image of a kangaroo, and includes a Certificate of Authenticity verifying its serial number in the series.

Perth Mint produces these coins, and has a long-standing reputation both in Australia and around the globe. Founded in 1898, it is the last of the original Royal Mint facilities still operating in Australia. Today it is owned by the state of Western Australia and not affiliated with the Royal Australian Mint.
