The 2015 1 oz Australian Silver Kangaroo Perth Mint BU is a landmark release and a must-have for collectors and investors alike. As the first year of issue for the Perth Mint’s official Silver Kangaroo bullion series, this coin holds a special place in modern numismatics. Struck from 1 troy ounce of .999 fine silver, it features a limited mintage of just 300,000 coins, making it one of the lowest mintage releases in the series and highly sought after on the market today.
Obverse: Depicts the iconic effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II with the engravings “ELIZABETH II”, “Australia”, and “1 Dollar.”

The Silver Kangaroo series was introduced by the Perth Mint in 2015 as Australia’s official silver bullion coin to compete globally with other leading silver coins like the American Eagle and Canadian Maple Leaf. Unlike the Kookaburra and Koala series, which feature annually changing designs, the Silver Kangaroo debuted with a consistent, classic design intended for large-scale bullion investors. The first-year 2015 release stands out due to its relatively low mintage before the series transitioned to unlimited annual production in later years, significantly increasing its collector appeal.
Why Own This Coin?
First Year Release: Highly collectible debut of the series.
Low Mintage: Only 300,000 coins struck.
.999 Fine Silver: Investment-grade purity.
Global Recognition: Trusted Perth Mint bullion coin.
Strong Collector Demand: Key date in the series.
Add the 2015 1 oz Australian Silver Kangaroo Perth Mint BU to your collection to secure a key-date bullion coin with both historical importance and investment value. Its combination of first-year status, limited mintage, and trusted mint origin makes it a standout piece for any silver portfolio.
