The 2026 1 oz Australian Platinum Kangaroo coin continues the Perth Mint’s modern platinum bullion series, offering investors a globally recognized platinum coin backed by the Australian government. First introduced in 2018, the Platinum Kangaroo series expanded the Perth Mint’s famous Kangaroo bullion program into platinum, complementing the long-running gold and silver Kangaroo coins.

Struck from 1 troy ounce of .9995 fine platinum, the 2026 Platinum Kangaroo combines exceptional minting quality with one of Australia’s most recognizable national symbols. With its annually updated design and government-backed status, the Platinum Kangaroo has become a popular choice among investors seeking exposure to physical platinum bullion.

About the 2026 1 oz Australian Platinum Kangaroo Coin

The Platinum Kangaroo bullion series was launched by the Perth Mint in 2018, extending the internationally recognized Kangaroo bullion program to platinum investors.

Each 2026 1 oz Australian Platinum Kangaroo coin carries a $100 AUD legal tender face value, backed by the Australian government under the Currency Act. The coin is struck in .9995 fine platinum, the standard purity for platinum bullion coins issued by government mints.

The Platinum Kangaroo series is known for its unlimited mintage, meaning coins are struck to meet investor demand throughout the year rather than being restricted to a fixed production number. This ensures consistent availability while maintaining the high minting standards associated with the Perth Mint.

King Charles III Obverse Design

The obverse of the 2026 Australian Platinum Kangaroo coin features the official effigy of His Majesty King Charles III, designed by Dan Thorne.

The portrait shows the King in left-profile relief without a crown, consistent with modern Commonwealth coinage traditions. Surrounding inscriptions identify the monarch and the coin’s face value.

This effigy marks the continued transition to the new royal portrait across Australian coinage following the accession of King Charles III.

Iconic Kangaroo Reverse Design

The reverse of the 2026 Platinum Kangaroo coin features a dynamic depiction of a kangaroo in mid-bound, designed by Perth Mint artist Neil Hollis.

The kangaroo is one of Australia’s most recognizable national symbols and has appeared on Australian coinage for decades. The design captures the animal’s powerful movement and agility, qualities that have made the kangaroo an enduring emblem of the Australian continent.

Inscriptions on the reverse include:

• AUSTRALIAN KANGAROO
• 2026
• 1 oz .9995 PLATINUM

The design is complemented by a sunburst-style background that enhances the coin’s visual depth and detail.

Advanced Perth Mint Security Features

Modern Kangaroo bullion coins incorporate advanced anti-counterfeiting technology developed by the Perth Mint.

Security features include a micro-laser engraved letter within the design, visible only under magnification. This authentication feature helps investors verify the coin’s authenticity and protects against counterfeiting.
