2002 Australia 1 oz Silver Kangaroo BU

The 2002 silver Kangaroo follows the 2001 coin's footsteps. The design on the reverse depicts a creative portrait of a kangaroo in action. The Aboriginal artist, Mark Nodea, designed the picture of the kangaroo for 2002. Mark is based out of Western Australia and is part of the Warmun Community, where stories, traditions, and the colors of the Earth are kept alive by his art. The kangaroo presented on the reverse is made up of lines and swirls, causing an interesting affect when looking at the coin. The frosted, matte finish is featured in the background, while kangaroo has the proof-like qualities. "One dollar," and "one ounce silver," are inscribed around the kangaroo. The obverse design pictures an older Queen Elizabeth II, with her regal side stance. The lines on her face are intricately drawn, making her picture come to life through the coin. The crown she wears, on top of her curly hair, is small and detailed in design. The coin's year of mintage is "2002," and the coin's place of mintage is "Australia." Both of these are written in front of the Queen's prominent face.

Honoring the iconic symbol of Australia, the Royal Australian Mint created a silver bullion series using the kangaroo as the main design. The silver Kangaroo collection is one of the only legal tender bullion coin series that changes their design year to year. Also keeping up the interest is the low mintages offered with the Kangaroo series. The Royal Australian Mint only minted 32,376 silver Kangaroos for the year 2002, luring in avid coin collectors looking for a new and unique collection to begin. The coins are minted every year, come in brilliant uncirculated condition, are guaranteed to be one ounce pure silver, and come in a mint sealed capsule issued by the Royal Australian Mint.
