Platinum Australian Kangaroo

Renowned for its decades-long expertise in crafting gold and silver bullion coins, the Perth Mint has established an impeccable reputation for quality, innovative minting, and iconic designs. In 2018, the Perth Mint expanded its offerings by introducing the Platinum Australian Kangaroo bullion coin. This new addition features the same beloved kangaroo design as its Silver Australian Kangaroo counterpart.

Crafted with exceptional artistry, brilliant uncirculated quality, and one full ounce of .9995 fine platinum, the Platinum Australian Kangaroo quickly gained popularity and remains a top choice for investors today.

Design of the Platinum Australian Kangaroo

Obverse

The obverse of the coin initially featured Queen Elizabeth II, appearing on all issues until 2024. Beginning in 2024, the obverse design was updated to depict King Charles III. Created by Dan Thorne, the left-profile relief of King Charles III portrays him without a crown. Surrounding inscriptions include “CHARLES III,” “AUSTRALIA,” and the face value, “100 DOLLARS.”

Reverse

The reverse showcases a kangaroo mid-bound, depicted in a left-profile relief. This dynamic design takes inspiration from a historic Australian copper penny, featuring the kangaroo leaping across the field, with stylized sunlight radiating from behind. Inscriptions on the reverse include “AUSTRALIAN KANGAROO,” the year of mintage (e.g., “2025”), the Perth Mint’s signature “P” mintmark, and “1 OZ 9995 PLATINUM.”

This design not only celebrates one of Australia’s most iconic marsupials but also underscores the artistry and heritage of the Perth Mint.
