Taxed with 21% VATThe 2025 Silver Kangaroo coin weighs 31.103 grams and contains 1 troy ounce of fine silver with the highest possible purity of 99.99%. Alongside the Canadian Maple Leaf, it is one of the only silver bullion coins in the world to feature such exceptional fineness. Renowned for its detailed design and advanced security features, the Silver Kangaroo is highly resistant to counterfeiting and remains one of the most competitively priced options for silver investors.
First introduced in 2015, the Silver Kangaroo is minted annually by The Perth Mint in Australia. Each coin contains 1 troy ounce (31.1 grams) of 99.99% pure silver and has a face value of 1 Australian dollar, though its intrinsic silver value is considerably higher. Directly sourced from the mint, these coins represent the highest quality available in modern bullion production.
The Perth Mint is globally recognized for its excellence in precious metal refining and minting, ensuring that each Silver Kangaroo meets the highest standards of purity and craftsmanship.
Under Dutch law, newly minted silver bullion coins are subject to 21% VAT. Business buyers can reclaim this tax, but private investors cannot. For those seeking a more tax-efficient alternative, the Silver Kangaroo – various years offers the same investment quality without VAT, as these coins have previously circulated. This makes them an attractive option for investors who wish to buy physical silver at the most favorable price.
The kangaroo depicted on the obverse of the Silver Kangaroo 2025 is Australia’s national symbol. Known for its powerful legs and long tail, the kangaroo can only move forward, representing Australia’s progress and resilience. The obverse also features the inscriptions “Australian Kangaroo”, “1 oz 9999 Silver”, and the year of issue, 2025.
The reverse displays the effigy of King Charles III, who faces left, unlike his predecessor Queen Elizabeth II. The portrait was designed by Dan Thorne and is marked with his initials “DT”. The coin also bears its nominal face value of 1 Australian dollar, though its market value is tied to the current silver price.
A small letter “P” appears within the outer ring as the Perth Mint’s mintmark, serving as a key authentication feature. Additionally, a microscopic letter “A” is laser-engraved within the letter “E” of the word “Silver” on the obverse – visible only under magnification. The position of this mark changes annually, further enhancing the coin’s anti-counterfeiting protection.
