For the FIRST TIME EVER—Celebrating the Perth Mint’s 125th Anniversary—the Kangaroo, Kookaburra and Koala
Together on the Same Proof Coin!

2024 brings a special release from the Perth Mint featuring three of Australia’s iconic animals—the Kangaroo, the Kookaburra, and the Koala—together on one design in celebration of the mint’s 125th Anniversary. This combination of Australian symbols is stunning and potent - imagine if Lady Liberty, the Buffalo and the Bald Eagle were all on ONE US Mint coin in celebration of the US Mint’s 125th anniversary. That’s EXACTLY what Perth did celebrating their major series for their major milestone anniversary – the FIRST time that all three infamous animals have been featured together on one PROOF coin from the Perth Mint.

The Perth Mint has a rich history of producing exquisite bullion and proof coins featuring iconic Australian wildlife. Among its most famous series are the Kangaroo, Kookaburra, and Koala coins, each with a unique legacy and design evolution. The Kangaroo series, first introduced in 1989, showcases Australia's beloved marsupial in various poses and settings. The Kookaburra coins, launched in 1990 as silver bullion coins, pay homage to the famous laughing kookaburra, a native Australian bird known for its distinctive call. The Koala coins, introduced in 2007 as silver bullion coins, focus on the adorable and iconic koalas that inhabit Australia's eucalyptus forests. 

Collectively, the Kangaroo, Kookaburra, and Koala coins represent the cornerstone of the Perth Mint's numismatic legacy—along with the well-known and extremely popular Wedge-Tailed Eagle series that just celebrated its tenth anniversary—all showcasing Australia's unique wildlife and natural beauty. These coin series have not only become iconic symbols of Australia, but also valuable assets for collectors worldwide. With their annual design changes, exceptional purity standards, and limited mintages, these coins exemplify the Perth Mint's commitment to excellence in craftsmanship and innovation in the numismatic industry.

Proofs Are Struck to A Higher Standard of Quality
The exquisite proof finish offers a much higher standard of beauty, quality, and craftsmanship than coins with non-proof finishes. Proof planchets (blanks) are specially treated, hand-polished, and cleaned to ensure high-quality strikes, then fed into presses fitted with specially polished dies and struck multiple times, unlike non-proofs which are struck only once. The extra strikes give proofs a glamorous shine and make intricate, razor-sharp details of the design pop against polished, mirror-like fields. While non-proofs are struck on high-speed presses by the thousands, these proofs are struck individually by highly skilled artisans creating numismatic masterpieces. 

Certified Flawless PF70 UC and First Day of Issue by NGC
Proofs and coins are graded on a 70-point scale, with a grade of 70 representing absolute perfection, even under magnification. There is no higher grade, and that’s what you have here. These 2024 Kangaroo, Kookaburra & Koala Proofs have been certified as perfect Proof-70 Ultra Cameo (PF70 UC) by Numismatic Guaranty Company (NGC), one of the top coin-grading services in the world. The Ultra Cameo (UC) designation signifies these coins possess an intense frosted finish on both sides of the coin, with highly polished fields accenting the raised elements. 

Each Proof also carries a First Day of Issue (FDI) designation—which means these select coins were purchased within one day of the first day of release from the mint. First Day of Issue proofs are sought-after because they are fresh and sharp, struck using fresh dies, and because there are so few of them compared to the overall population. 

These Kangaroo, Kookaburra & Koala Proofs are not just the best of the best, they’re the first of the best.
