The reverse features two kangaroos captured mid-leap through water, brought to life with vibrant colour and finely detailed high-relief sculpting. Water ripples and splashes add movement to the scene, while a distant mountain landscape provides a striking Australian backdrop.
The design incorporates the inscription ‘KANGAROO’, The Perth Mint’s distinctive ‘P’ mintmark, and the coin’s weight, silver purity and 2026 year-date. A special ‘40’ privy mark commemorates the 40th anniversary of the Australian Nugget series, which began in 1986 as Australia’s first official legal tender gold bullion coin series.
Both the obverse and reverse are struck on concave surfaces to help achieve optimal metal flow during minting. This specialised technique enhances the depth and definition of the design, creating a three-dimensional appearance that complements the proof finish and coloured details.
The result is a visually striking collectible that highlights The Perth Mint’s renowned coin-making expertise.
Each coin is housed in a classic display case with a clear lid, allowing the detailed design to be admired while providing protection. An illustrated outer shipper and numbered Certificate of Authenticity complete the presentation, making this release suitable for display or as a considered gift for a coin collector.
