2023 AUS 10 oz Silver Piedfort Kangaroo Mother & Baby Joey BU

---

This impressive ten ounce silver piece stands out for its remarkable thickness, struck in the traditional piedfort style. As the sixth entry in the Next Generation series from the Perth Mint, the coin celebrates the unique wildlife of the Australian Outback by depicting a mother kangaroo alongside her young joey. Crafted from 0.9999 fine silver, this heavy coin combines artistic depth with high-tech security features, including micro-laser engraved details and precise radial lines on both sides. The reverse side showcases the maternal bond of the kangaroo, created by designer Jennifer McKenna, alongside the classic 'P' mint mark of the Perth Mint. On the obverse, the memorial effigy of Queen Elizabeth II by Jody Clark is displayed, accompanied by the years of her historic reign from 1952 to 2022. The obverse also carries the 2023 issue date, the ten-dollar face value, and the purity of the metal, all backed by the Australian government as official legal tender. With a strict limit of only 2,500 pieces minted, this coin represents a fascinating intersection of modern security and traditional minting artistry.
