The Australian Kangaroo series features a new bullion design every year, and a "definitive design" which doesn't change and is usually reserved only for the gold kilo and the silver ounce formats. This set is one of the rare exceptions, and features the definitive Red Kangaroo design by Stuart Devlin in four different gold formats. The coins also have a special mint mark - P125 instead of the usual P, to mark the 125th anniversary of the Perth Mint.
The red kangaroo is Australia’s largest living marsupial. With the male often referred to as a ‘big red’, they successfully inhabit arid regions, thanks to an ability to survive when water is scarce. Capable of reaching speeds of up to 60 km/h, red kangaroos move with a characteristic bounding motion on muscular hind legs. |
