2024 AUS 1 oz Silver Kangaroo King Charles 1st Issue PF Box & COA

---

In 2024, Australia released a silver proof coin that captures both a significant royal transition and a celebration of numismatic heritage. This issue, containing one troy ounce of 99.99 percent pure silver, marks a notable moment as it features the portrait of King Charles III, designed by Dan Thorne, on its obverse. The reverse of the coin displays a classic Australian scene: a kangaroo leaping across the landscape with a young joey, set against a backdrop of stylized sunlight. Surrounding this central image are the inscriptions detailing the coin name, the 2024 year, and the weight and purity of the metal. Adding to its distinctiveness is a special mint mark. Instead of the standard single letter, the coin displays a 'P125' mint mark, a detail specifically chosen to honor the 125th anniversary of the Perth Mint. With a limited release of only 7,500 pieces, this modern proof coin stands as a beautifully crafted tribute to Australian wildlife and minting history.
