As an animal exclusive to "The Great Down Under," the Kangaroo is an excellent feature for the Perth Mint's annual bullion release. The intriguing marsupial is revered for its unique look, incredible leaping ability, and speed. They can leap up to 30 meters in a single bound at 48 kilometres an hour and grow up to 1.8 meters tall. With a tradition dating back to the 1980s, the Australian Kangaroo is a trusted bullion coin series featuring imagery of the iconic animal that takes its name from the Guugu Yimithirr word 'gangurru.' First Nations people have a relationship with the Kangaroo dating back tens of thousands of years. Today, it is recognized internationally as Australia's definitive animal emblem.

ABOUT THE PERTH MINT

The Perth Mint opened in 1899 as the British Royal Mint's 3rd branch in Australia. The historical Hay Street location handled gold refining until moving to a modern facility in April 1990. Ownership of the mint was transferred to the Government of Western Australia in July of 1970. Under an agreement with the Commonwealth Treasury, they were empowered to mint and market gold, silver, and platinum as Australian legal tender to investors and collectors worldwide. Today, they are amongst the elite world mints whose pure gold, silver, and platinum items are trusted without question. Items such as the Australian Nugget, Silver Coin Series (Kangaroo, Kookaburra, Koala, and Platypus to name a few), as well as the Australian Lunar Gold and Silver Coin Series are extensively sought after by bullion investors worldwide.
