Silver Ounce 2024 Kangaroo Toys, Coin from Australia - detailed information

The Australian one ounce silver piece (abbreviated as 1 oz and designated with Ag for "silver") is a bullion and commemorative coin format. Uniquely, in Australia there are two mints authorised to strike legal tender: the Royal Australian Mint (which also makes the country's circulating coinage) and the Perth Mint which only makes collector and bullion coins, as well as other bullion products.

Both mints endeavour to create coins with attractive designs, and to introduce new designs and themes often, in order to raise the numismatic value of the coins over the value of previous metal used.

This one-ounce silver proof coin was issued as a baby gift idea. It has the same design as the one dollar released in the annual baby sets - part of a series which re-imagines the regular circulating Australian coinage in "baby style". This design shows a mob of plush kangaroo toys in place of the realistic kangaroos of the definitive design.
