Taxed with 21% VATThe Silver Kangaroo 2026 Coin weighs 31.1 grams and contains 1 troy ounce of pure silver with the highest possible purity. 999.9/1000. Alongside the Maple Leaf, the Silver Kangaroo is the only silver bullion coin with a purity of 99.99% silver.
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 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 this reason, many investors choose Silver Kangaroo - various years. The silver value of these previously circulated coins is exempt from the 21% VAT. This makes them an attractive option for private investors who wish to buy physical silver at the most favorable price.
The kangaroo on the obverse of the Silver Kangaroo 2026 is Australia’s national symbol. Due to its long tail and powerful legs, the kangaroo can only jump forward and not backward—symbolizing Australia’s progress. This side of the coin features the year 2026, the inscriptions “Australian Kangaroo,” and “1 oz 9999 Silver.”
The reverse shows the portrait of King Charles III, who—unlike Queen Elizabeth II—faces to the left. The portrait was designed by Dan Thorne, whose initials “DT” appear below. This side also bears the nominal face value of 1 Australian dollar, which is of course far lower than the coin’s actual silver value.
To the right of the kangaroo, a small letter “P” can be seen in the outer ring. This mintmark refers to The Perth Mint and serves as a mark of authenticity. In addition, a microlaser engraving has been placed within the letter “E” of the word “Silver” on the obverse. This tiny letter “A” is only visible under magnification and changes position each year, making the coin even harder to counterfeit.
