| Paradise Mint is an authorized Perth Mint Distributor and buys direct from the Perth Mint.
This is a very unique coin. It is a whopping 6mm thick and comes in a special designed NGC case that is about 1 1/2 times the thickness of a normal NGC slab.
The high relief Australian Kangaroo coin represents the very best in minting excellence and design. Struck by The Perth Mint from 1oz of 99.9% pure silver in proof quality, the coin is issued as legal tender under the Australian Currency Act 1965.
No more than 20,000 of these coins will be issued worldwide.
DESIGN
The coin’s reverse portrays a kangaroo against a background of sunrays. The design includes the inscription AUSTRALIAN KANGAROO, The Perth Mint’s ‘P’ mintmark and the 2011 yeardate.
The Ian Rank-Broadley effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II is depicted on the coin’ obverse. The coin’s high-relief reverse and obverse are minted on concave surfaces to ensure the optimum flow of metal is achieved by the strike of the die.
