The Design of the 1oz Perth Mint Platinum Kangaroo 2019 Coin
The Platinum Kangaroo coins are special, partially because they were the first-ever Australian bullion featuring a reverse design that changes with the year. The coins displayed various nugget designs in the first three years. These nuggets were actually found on Australian land and subsequently featured on the coins. Therefore, the series was dubbed the Australian Nugget Series. The Perth Mint opted to use the Kangaroo on the coin in 1990 and beyond as the animal is Australia's national symbol. As a result, the series moniker became the Australian Kangaroo.
Take a look at this year's Platinum Kangaroo coin and you will find the lovely animal basking in the sunlight. The obverse side of the coin displays an effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, made by Ian Rank-Broadley. This side has the following inscriptions: 100 Dollars, Australia and Elizabeth II. Each Platinum Kangaroo coin design also has AUSTRALIAN KANGAROO inscripted on the reverse side. Additional inscriptions on this side of the coin include the “P” mintmark of the Perth Mint, “Australian Kangaroo”, “1 oz”, “.9995 Platinum” and the year date. This mintmark is important as coin collectors and investors around the world highly favor pieces minted at the Perth Mint. The Perth Mint has over a century of experience minting widely-coveted pieces. This group is also the country's top refiner to boot.
