Historical Note:
The Silver Kangaroo series, introduced in 2016, became the Perth Mint’s premier .9999 fine silver bullion program. The 2022 issue continues this legacy, pairing modern security technology with traditional Australian wildlife imagery. First Day of Issue coins with signature labels—especially from former Perth Mint CEO Ed Harbuz—are particularly prized for their limited availability and direct connection to the mint’s leadership. This perfect MS70 example offers collectors the ultimate blend of purity, craftsmanship, and provenance.
