2022 1 oz Australian Platinum Kangaroo Coin

  • Description
    Available to you in protective capsules, plastic tubes of 20, or mint-sealed boxes of 100 coins! 5th year of issue for the Australian Platinum Kangaroo Coin! Unlimited mintage in 2022! Contains 1 Troy oz of .9995 pure platinum in BU condition. The face value of $100 (AUD) is fully backed by the Australian government. On the obverse is Queen Elizabeth II. The reverse features the image of a red kangaroo. The design on the Australian Platinum Kangaroo is the same that can be found annually on the Australian Silver Kangaroo, as well as on the annual 1 Kilo Gold Kangaroo. Like the Silver Kangaroo, this design element does not change year-over-year as is the case with the Kookaburra, Koala, and the Gold Kangaroo coins (except 1 Kilo). All of the 2022 1 oz Australian Platinum Kangaroo Coins are available here in Brilliant Uncirculated condition. These platinum BU coins arrive individually in protective capsules, by multiples of 20 coins in plastic tubes, and by multiples of 100 in boxes. The box holds a total of five tubes of 20 coins each. With an unlimited mintage, Perth will continuously strike these coins through 2022 until the 2023 coin is ready for production. On the obverse of 2022 Australian Platinum Kangaroo Coin is the effigy of Queen Elizabeth II. This is the sixth-generation and latest portrait of Her Majesty to grace Australian coins. Designed in 2015 by Jody Clark, the design shows the Queen in right-profile relief wearing the George IV State Diadem. It is customary for monarchs to feature in the same relief throughout their reign. As the Queens father, King George VI, was always depicted in left-profile relief, the Queen has featured in right-profile relief. The reverse side of the 2022 1 oz Platinum Kangaroo comes with a depiction of a red kangaroo hopping along. The figure of the kangaroo shown here was created by Stuart Devlin and was inspired by the 1936 Copper Penny design issued before decimalization in Australia.
