Australian Kangaroo 1 oz. Silver 1995

Low mintage, spectacular design, and beautiful frosted finishes are a few words that describe the Royal Australian Mint's silver Kangaroo series. Every year, the Australian Mint produces a new kangaroo design on the reverse with a specific low mintage. This low mintage increases their value as a coin and adds a premium to them that goes beyond the price of silver. The silver Kangaroo series is one of the only legal tender bullion series to annually change the design on the coin in Australia. A proof and a brilliant uncirculated coin are created yearly with the same kangaroo design. Specifically, 72,850 silver Kangaroos were made in 1995 and have become increasingly hard to find in the coin world. Silver coin collectors anxiously wait, every year, for the new kangaroo design to come out so it can be added to their diverse collection.

The reverse of the coin pictures a close-up of a kangaroo's face. The intricate attention to detail, including every hair on the kangaroo's head, is outstanding. The frosting on the brilliant uncirculated coin adds dimension to the kangaroo, making it seem that he is coming out of the coin. The coin's tender value of one dollar is also featured on the reverse, along with the coin's purity of one ounce of pure silver. Queen Elizabeth II is realistically depicted on the obverse of the coin, revealing the masterpiece first drawn by sculptor, Raphael Maklouf. She sits pronounced, facing sideways, with a extravagant tiara on her head. Her face is youthful, showing no signs of aging. "Australia" and "1995" are inscribed next to her face, close to the rim. The silver Kangaroo series is up and coming, earning the attention of avid coin collectors worldwide. Apart from their varying mintages and designs, these Kangaroo coins offer a great start to any novice collector looking to invest in silver coins.
