The Australian Kangaroo coin series from the Perth Mint is arguably its most diverse in terms of coin weights and precious metals. The coins have existed since 1990 as the Gold Kangaroo collection, which features both 1 oz gold and fractional-weight gold. The series expanded in 2016 with the Silver Kangaroo, and now offers even more diversity with the Platinum Kangaroo. Today, the 2018 1 oz Platinum Australian Kangaroo Coin is available to you online at Silver.com.

Coin Highlights:

  • Ships to you inside protective plastic capsules, sealed rolls containing 20 coins, or boxes containing 100 coins.
  • First-ever release of the Platinum Australian Kangaroo!
  • Unlimited mintage of Platinum Kangaroo coins!
  • Consists of One Troy ounce of .9995 fine platinum in BU condition.
  • Face value of $100 (AUD) is fully backed by the Australian government.
  • Queen Elizabeth II’s effigy on the obverse.
  • Red kangaroo design graces the reverse.

Australian Kangaroo coinage has proven a trend-setting collection from the Perth Mint. Together with the Silver Kookaburra, the Gold Kangaroo was one of the first two collections from the mint to feature rotating annual designs on the reverse when it debuted in 1990. The Silver Kangaroo’s 2016 debut brought the first .9999 fine silver content coin to Perth Mint annual bullion releases.

Now, the 2018 1 oz Platinum Australian Kangaroo coin gives the series the most diversity of any release from the mint with a platinum coin option. These Platinum Kangaroo coins are available to you in BU condition. Coins in this condition have no signs of wear and tear, but they are not perfect specimens. BU coins have the potential for breaks in the luster, spotted surfaces, and contact marks as a result of the production process.

The obverse of all coins in the Platinum Kangaroo release have Queen Elizabeth II’s right-profile effigy. Her Majesty’s effigy has appeared on the obverse of British and commonwealth coinage throughout her reign, dating back to 1952. This is the fourth-generation design which came from Ian Rank-Broadley in 1998.

On the reverse of the all-new 2018 1 oz Platinum Australian Kangaroo is the iconic design of the red kangaroo. There are four species of kangaroo native to Australia, but the red kangaroo is the largest and best-known of the species. In this design, it hops across the coin’s design field with sunburst rays framing it from behind.

Perth Mint opened in 1899 as the third and final Royal Mint in Australia. Following the closure of the Sydney Mint and Melbourne Mint it was left as the oldest operating facility. Today it is owned and operated by the state of Western Australia, and operates separately from the Royal Australian Mint in Canberra.

Is my information secure?

We take data security very seriously. When you place an order with silver.com, your information is transmitted with the utmost SSL (secure socket layers) 256-bit protection. We also never have access to your credit/debit card details, as they are securely communicated directly to the payment processor (Authorize.net) and never retained by Silver.com.

Upon completing checkout with a VISA or MasterCard credit/debit card, you may be promoted for additional details to confirm your identity and protect our customers against credit card fraud.

Do you charge sales tax?

Are your products actually in stock?

Yes. We are one of the few bullion dealers in the industry who only deems products "in stock" when we have them on-hand and ready to ship immediately. In the instance of a presale item, we denote that the product is on presale and the estimated shipping date. While we make the best efforts to hit presale dates, the dates are only estimates, given we cannot control mint production issues and/or carrier dealyes.

Why are multiple prices listed?

We offer a 4% discount to "cash" paying customers - with paper check, bank wire, and bitcoin payments being defined as cash. On many products, we are also able to offer volume discounts to customers purchasing large quantities of the same item. All volume pricing is laid out in the chart on the product's description page, as well as in the cart.

When do I lock in my price?

All prices are locked in at the time of purchase. Credit/debit card, PayPal, BitCoin, Ethereum, and Ripple orders are paid at the time of checkout, while paper check and bank wire orders require a credit/debit card on file to lock in your pricing while we await your payment. Please note, paper check and bank wire orders will NOT result in a charge to your card - we simple maintain the card on file while we await full payment by your selected payment method.

Do you ship internationally?
