The coin's reverse depicts a kangaroo bounding across an outback plain. The design includes the inscription AUSTRALIAN KANGAROO, The Perth Mint’s ‘P’ mintmark, and the 2017 year-date. The Ian Rank-Broadley effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and the monetary denomination are depicted on the coin’s obverse. The coin’s high relief reverse and obverse are minted on concave surfaces to ensure the optimum flow of metal is achieved by the strike of the die. Each coin is housed in a classic grey display case within a themed shipper and accompanied by a numbered Certificate of Authenticity.
