Newly released 2024 1 Ounce Australian Kangaroo Platinum Coin available from the Perth Mint.
2024 Australian Kangaroo Platinum Coin Design:
The front of the coin features a new portrait of King Charles III, symbolizing a new era in the monarchy. Above the image are the inscriptions "Charles III" and "Australia," signifying his reign and the coin's origin. The coin's significant face value of $100 AUD is elegantly positioned at the bottom, underpinning its status as legal tender under the Australian Currency Act of 1965.
On the reverse, the coin showcases the iconic image of a red kangaroo in mid-hop, embodying the spirit of the Australian outback. The inscription "Australian Kangaroo" crowns the top, with the minting year "2024," weight "1 oz," and the platinum purity "9995" detailed at the bottom. A discreet "P" mark near the kangaroo serves as a security feature while affirming the coin's authenticity.
Perth Mint Kangaroo Series:
Launched initially in the 1980s with a gold version, the Kangaroo series evolved from the original 'Nugget' design to feature the beloved kangaroo image in 1988, marking a significant milestone. Expanding its horizons, the Perth Mint introduced the series in silver in 2016 and platinum in 2017. While the gold and silver variants refresh their kangaroo designs annually, the platinum Kangaroo maintains the consistent depiction of the Red Kangaroo, making it a steadfast symbol in the collection.
The Perth Mint also offers a Lunar series in platinum, both available exclusively as 1 Ounce coins. The platinum Kangaroo, in particular, enjoys popularity among investors, available for individual purchase or in multiples of 20 for significant investments. As Australia's official mint, the Perth Mint holds the esteemed responsibility of producing all official Australian legal tender, in addition to its range of precious metals products.
Purchases can be made in 16 different currencies, including AUD, HKD, EUR, GBP, CHF, DKK, NOK, among others, and even cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, Litecoin, Ripple, and Ethereum are accepted.
