2025 1oz Perth Mint Platinum Kangaroo Coin

The Australian kangaroo, a large marsupial endemic to Australia, is recognised for its muscular tail, strong back legs, large feet, short fur, and long, pointed ears. This unique bullion coin series celebrates the kangaroo, an emblem that traces its roots back to the Guugu Yimithirr word 'gangurru'. Kangaroos inhabit every corner of Australia, from arid interiors to lush bushland parks.
