HISTORY AND SIGNIFICANCE
The Royal Australian Mint proudly continues to create collectible coins featuring icons and events which symbolise our nation’s identity and our shared story.

Since 1993, the country’s most celebrated piece of unique fauna has taken pride of place on the popular Kangaroo series. Throughout the life of the series, themes such as European explorers’ first sightings, renowned Australian artists’ depictions and the life cycle of the kangaroo have all been featured. In 2018, the Mint looks back with pride at a quarter-century of artistic and engineering excellence.

On its 25th anniversary, the Kangaroo series will be joining the ranks of those coins to receive MDM silver bar status. MDM Münzhandelsgesellschaft mbH & Co.
