Australian Kangaroo 1 oz. Silver 2011- PROOF

The 2011 Australia 1 Dollar 1 oz Silver Kangaroo coin is a refined bullion issue from the Perth Mint, struck in .999 fine silver with a total weight of one troy ounce. It carries a legal tender denomination of 1 Dollar. The obverse features the effigy of Queen Elizabeth II by Ian Rank-Broadley, along with the inscriptions “ELIZABETH II,” “AUSTRALIA,” and the date “2011.” The portrait is rendered in frosted detail against mirrored fields, giving the coin a prooflike appearance that enhances its visual contrast and overall presentation.

The reverse showcases a detailed depiction of two kangaroos standing in a natural Australian landscape, with one upright and the other in a more dynamic stance. The design emphasizes texture and anatomical realism, particularly in the fur and musculature, while maintaining a clean, polished field. Inscriptions include “ONE DOLLAR” and “1 OUNCE FINE SILVER,” confirming the coin’s denomination and metal content. The coin measures approximately 40.6 mm in diameter and 3.2 mm in thickness, consistent with standard 1 oz silver bullion specifications. This issue is especially appealing to collectors and investors alike for its classic wildlife design combined with the high-quality production standards of the Perth Mint.
