Coins minted by the Perth Mint have a long-standing tradition of featuring the kangaroo design. This iconic symbol of Australia was first introduced in the Australian gold Kangaroo series in 1989 as proof coins and later expanded to gold bullion coins in 1990. Every year since then, a new design has been featured in the gold Kangaroo collection. In 2016, the Perth Mint released its first-ever .9999 pure silver bullion coin, showcasing the renowned Australian Kangaroo design previously used on the gold Kangaroo coins. Furthermore, in 2018, the Perth Mint issued the inaugural Australian platinum Kangaroo, a one-ounce coin made of .9995 pure platinum and backed by the Australian federal government with a face value of $100 (AUD).
The Australian platinum Kangaroos feature Queen Elizabeth II in profile on the obverse side, wearing her royal tiara, symbolizing Australia's continued allegiance to the crown and the British Commonwealth. The coins display a denomination of 100 Dollars below the Queen's image, with "AUSTRALIA" and "ELIZABETH II" engraved on the sides.
On the reverse side, the platinum Kangaroos showcase the "Red Kangaroo" design, consistent with the Australian silver Kangaroos. The words "AUSTRALIAN KANGAROO" is engraved above the kangaroo image, while the year of mintage, platinum weight, and purity (2018 1 oz 9995 PLATINUM) are inscribed below the kangaroo. The Perth Mint's mint mark "P" can also be found to the right of the kangaroo's tail.
A microscopic letter is laser-engraved within one of the letters on the reverse side to enhance security and prevent counterfeiting, visible only under magnification.
