2016 Kangaroo Series - Seasons Change 1oz Silver Uncirculated Coin

As Australia’s most iconic animal, the kangaroo has captured the hearts of Australian numismatists since 1993 with the release of the Royal Australian Mint’s Kangaroo Series.

The 2016 Kangaroo Series continues this popular series with the release of a new theme that captures the exquisite and natural beauty of the kangaroo.

The reverse of this coin depicts a mother kangaroo and its offspring in the pouch of its mother. A baby kangaroo stays in the pouch of a minimum of twelve months while it develops and feeds from the teat of its mother. After twelve months, the baby kangaroo becomes too big to remain in the pouch and leaves its safety to explore its new world freely.
