Originally released in 1986 as the Australian Gold Nugget, the Perth Mint’s Australian Kangaroo Series has become a steady option for investors and collectors alike. In 1990, the design direction changed to focus on the kangaroo, one of Australia’s most recognizable animals, with new artwork introduced each year. The 2026 release marks the 40th anniversary of the series and includes a special privy mark to recognize the occasion. Right now, 2026 1 oz Proof Colorized Australian Silver Kangaroo Coins are available online at BullionMax.

On the obverse of the 2026 1 oz Proof Colorized Silver Kangaroo Coin, you will find a left-profile image of King Charles III without a crown. This design was created by Dan Thorne and represents the first official portrait of His Majesty to appear on Australian coinage.

The reverse of the 2026 Proof Colorized Australian Silver Kangaroo features two kangaroos moving through a shallow body of water. As they hop forward, ripples form across the surface, showing the motion of their movement. The design reflects the natural efficiency of the kangaroo’s unique hopping style, which has developed over time to suit Australia’s landscape.

Kangaroos are found across many parts of Australia and can adapt to different environments. Red Kangaroos are often seen in dry, open areas of the country. Eastern Grey Kangaroos live along the eastern regions, from Cape York down to Tasmania, while Western Grey Kangaroos range from Western Australia into southern parts like Victoria. These grey species usually prefer areas with more vegetation. Antilopine Kangaroos are typically found in northern Australia, where tropical woodlands are more common.

These 2026 1 oz Proof Colorized Australian Silver Kangaroo Coins come packaged in Perth Mint display cases with a black base and clear acrylic lid. Each one is housed in a themed outer shipper and includes a Certificate of Authenticity. The coins feature a high-relief strike for added depth and include colorized elements on the reverse design.
