Theme Background:

For many, the kangaroo is identified internationally as a symbol of Australia. This commonly found marsupial has graced more Australian coin designs than any other. Kangaroo coin designs stand proudly amongst some of the world's most recognised designs including the Maple Leaf from the Canadian Royal Mint, the St George Sovereign from the Royal Mint and the American Eagle from the U.S. Mint.

In bringing a new dimension to our Kangaroo Series in 2010 we feature a design of the Yellow-footed Rock Wallaby. A highly endangered member of the macropod family that includes kangaroos, wallabies and wallaroos. The coin design captures this animal in its most common surrounding; the rocky outcrops and ridges of semi-arid western New South Wales.

The $1 frosted uncirculated coin has always remained popular with collectors, because they are getting a stunning coin without overextending the budget. Each coin image has a bright polished appearance with a frosted background. As their appearance is in direct contrast to other more expensive proof coins, they make the perfect companion to any silver proof coin.
