2018 1 oz Australian Platinum Kangaroo Perth Mint Coin .9995 Fine BU In Cap

This 2018 1 oz Australian Platinum Kangaroo Perth Mint Coin is a new release in the Australian Bullion Coin Program. Issued as Australian legal tender, this beautiful coin is stuck from .9995 pure platinum and issued as legal tender under the Australian Currency Act of 1965. In 2017 for the first time - a platinum version of the Kangaroo joins this series alongside the gold and silver versions.

These coins were the first Australian bullion with the annually changing reverse design. Initially, for the first three years, the coins sported different nugget designs that were found in Australia and the series was named the Australian Nugget series. In 1990, the mint decided to use the national symbol of Australia - the Kangaroo. For this reason, the name of the series changed to Australian Kangaroo.

The coin’s reverse features a bounding red kangaroo surrounded by rays of sunlight. The obverse features the effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, created by Ian Rank-Broadley. Each coin design also incorporates the inscription AUSTRALIAN KANGAROO, the 2018 year-date, and The Perth Mint’s traditional ‘P’ mintmark.
