A unique and fascinating tribute to Australia’s number one native icon, based on illustrations from legendary naturalist John Gould, we are delighted to unveil the Mammals of Australia 2026 $1 Red Kangaroo 1oz Silver Proof Coin!
Although known as the Father of Australian Ornithology, and revered for The Birds of Australia, Gould also played a key role in the documentation of Australia’s mammals. It was when Gould arrived in Australia to record birdlife that, finding himself “surrounded by objects as strange as if I had been transported to another planet”, he decided to embark upon a comprehensive survey of Australian mammals. This survey would ultimately result in The Mammals of Australia. Published in 13 parts across three volumes from 1845 to 1863, this epic work featured 182 illustrations – including those upon which this design celebrating the Red Kangaroo is based!
Capturing a unique piece of Australian history in glorious full-colour, this official legal tender coin is struck to the peak of Proof quality from 1oz of 99.9% pure silver. Sure to catch the eye of animal lovers worldwide, and a must-have for collectors of the Birds of Australia Silver Proof Series, the broad 38.60mm flan is adorned with a striking depiction of Red Kangaroos – the largest kangaroo species, and biggest land-dwelling mammal native to Australia.
With tributes to Australia’s iconic kangaroos always so popular, both at home and abroad, the tiny limited edition of 750 coins seems certain to sell out at speed. Immediate action a must – click add to cart now!
