The reverse presents a carefully observed two-kangaroo composition specific to the 2025 issue. A large kangaroo occupies the foreground, lying low with legs extended and head raised, its fur rendered in fine detail across the chest and limbs. Behind it, a second kangaroo stands upright and alert on elevated ground. A grass tree — one of Australia’s most distinctive native plants, with its long needle leaves and dark trunk — rises in the left background, grounding the scene in the Australian outback setting. The inscriptions confirm weight, purity, and year, and the P mintmark of the Perth Mint sits within the design. A micro-laser engraved security feature is incorporated into the reverse, detectable only under magnification.
The obverse carries the Dan Thorne portrait of King Charles III in right-facing relief — the same effigy introduced across Perth Mint’s 2025 bullion range — with the $15 AUD face value confirming its status as Australian legal tender under the Currency Act 1965.
Each coin is struck in brilliant uncirculated condition and delivered in an individual acrylic capsule.
