The 2026 1 Ounce Australian Kangaroo Platinum Coin is a brand-new release from the world-famous Perth Mint. Struck in 999.5 fine platinum and carrying a face value of $100 AUD, this bullion coin blends striking design with investment-grade quality.
The obverse of the coin features a refined portrait of King Charles III, a design that marks the continuation of his image on Australian coinage. Surrounding the portrait are the inscriptions “Charles III” and “Australia,” affirming the coin’s royal and national heritage. Its legal tender value of $100 AUD is engraved at the base, issued under the Australian Currency Act of 1965.
The reverse showcases the powerful red kangaroo mid-leap, an enduring symbol of the vast Australian landscape and one of the country’s most recognized emblems. The words “Australian Kangaroo” curve across the top, with “2026,” “1 oz,” and “9995 Platinum” inscribed below. A discreet “P” mintmark authenticates the coin as a genuine Perth Mint issue and serves as a built-in security feature.
The Kangaroo coin series first appeared in the 1980s as a gold coin and evolved from the early “Nugget” design to the modern kangaroo motif in 1988. The series expanded to include silver coins in 2016 and platinum coins in 2017.
Unlike the gold and silver Kangaroos, which change designs annually, the platinum Kangaroo coin consistently features the red kangaroo, symbolizing strength, freedom, and Australia’s unique wildlife.
The Perth Mint, Australia’s official government mint, is world-renowned for its craftsmanship and innovation. In addition to the Kangaroo series, it produces the iconic Lunar Series in platinum, silver, and gold.
The 1 Ounce Platinum Kangaroo is a popular choice for investors and collectors, valued for its liquidity, purity, and government-backed guarantee. Coins can be purchased individually or in tubes of 20 coins, making them suitable for both small and large portfolios.
