The 1 troy ounce Silver Kangaroo coin weighs 31.103 grams and is struck in 99.99% pure silver – the highest possible fineness. It is known for its refined detail and advanced security features, including a micro-laser engraved letter “A” hidden within one of the letters of “AUSTRALIAN KANGAROO”, visible only under magnification. This makes counterfeiting virtually impossible. The coin’s competitive pricing also makes it a popular choice among silver investors.
First issued in 2015, the Silver Kangaroo is produced annually by The Perth Mint in Australia. Containing 1 troy ounce of 99.99% fine silver, it is one of only two silver bullion coins in the world – alongside the Canadian Maple Leaf – to reach this exceptional level of purity. The Silver Kangaroo is legal tender in Australia with a face value of 1 Australian dollar, though its intrinsic silver value is considerably higher.
The various years Kangaroo coins are sourced from the secondary market and are often priced more attractively than the newest 2025 edition that comes directly from The Perth Mint. The exact year of issue is supplied at random, but each 1 troy ounce Silver Kangaroo carries the same buyback value regardless of the year, making these coins a smart investment choice for silver buyers.
These coins are exempt from 21% VAT. Because they have previously circulated and are carefully purchased from private and institutional sellers, you benefit from a sharper, VAT-free silver price. This makes the Silver Kangaroo one of the most cost-effective ways to invest in globally recognized silver bullion.
The kangaroo depicted on the obverse of the Silver Kangaroo coin is Australia’s national symbol. Known for its powerful legs and long tail, the kangaroo can only move forward – a metaphor for Australia’s progress and development. This side of the coin also bears the inscriptions “Australian Kangaroo”, the year of issue and “1 oz 9999 Silver”.
The reverse features the effigy of Queen Elizabeth II (2015–2023) or King Charles III (2024–2025), who faces left – unlike the late Queen. The portraits of Elizabeth are signed IRB or JC for designers Ian Rank-Broadley and Jody Clark, while the portrait of King Charles bears the initials DT for artist Dan Thorne. The nominal face value of 1 Australian dollar is also displayed but remains far below the coin’s actual silver value.
A small letter “P” appears in the outer ring to signify The Perth Mint, serving as one of the coin’s key authenticity marks. In addition, a microscopic letter “A” is laser-engraved within one of the letters of “AUSTRALIAN KANGAROO”, visible only under magnification. The specific placement of this mark varies each year, adding an extra layer of security and making counterfeiting extremely difficult.

People think of silver as the poor man's gold, which is absolutely the wrong way to look at it. Gold has the most monetary character, but silver moves in times when a financial system is under pressure, at least as much as gold.
Silver is a commodity and monetary metal. Gold and silver have related to each other to some extent over a long history; This is called the gold-silver ratio. Silver has not been this cheap in 25 years compared to gold.
