2018 is the introductory year of the 1 oz. Platinum Australian Kangaroo Bullion Coin.

The reverse side of the platinum bullion coin pays tribute to the Red Kangaroo, Australia's most recognizable animal, which is also the largest marsupial.

Since 1991, the same design has been on the reverse side of the 1-kilo. Australian Kangaroo Gold bullion coin.

The Perth Mint released the first Australian 1oz Platinum Kangaroo bullion coin on October 23rd, 2017, with an unlimited production mintage.

Design of the

Platinum Bullion Coin

Obverse

2023 Platinum Kangaroo

The direction of the monarch's face is a subtle difference between the 2023 and the current Platinum Kangaroo Bullion Coins.

The 2023 Platinum Kangaroo displays the late Queen Elizabeth II facing the right, and the current bullion coin displays the King of England, Charles III, facing the left.

Switching the direction a monarch faces is a tradition on British Commonwealth coinage that dates back to the 17th century for the British Royal Family.

Note: The top of the obverse side on the 2023 Platinum Kangaroo shows the the dates 1952-2022, which represents the duration of Queen Elizabeth II's reign. (click image to enlarge)

The obverse of the Platinum Kangaroo portrays the profile of His Majesty King Charles III, by designer Dan Thorne.

Inscriptions:

• CHARLES III
• AUSTRALIA
• • 100 DOLLARS • 
  
• DT - designer's initials under King's profile
