Silver Coin RAM Kangaroo Bush Capital 2025, 1 ounce

The silver coin commemorates the "capital of the bush" - Canberra.

To celebrate the Royal Australian Mint's 60th anniversary in 2025, a unique "Bush Capital" coin has been created as a tribute to the mint's unusual, picturesque location and one of Canberra's most distinctive bagpipe residents - the gray kangaroo. This intricately crafted 1 Australian dollar silver coin, struck in the "Frosted Uncirculated" standard, is a true work of numismatic art. It commemorates Canberra - the charming "bush capital" where modern architecture intertwines with wildlife - and its iconic local resident, who has been an integral part of the Australian landscape for generations. "Bush Capital" is the thirty-second release in the prestigious and collector-acclaimed "Kangaroo Series," whose designs invariably combine mint precision with an artistic depiction of Australian fauna and cultural heritage.

The coin's reverse features an image of a stately kangaroo, captured in a dynamic leap against a stylized panorama of the "capital of the bush." The composition combines elements of wildlife and urban landscape - dense, intricately rendered thickets create a picturesque backdrop, which contrasts with the clear, precisely rendered silhouettes of Canberra's most recognizable buildings. Prominent among them are the majestic Parliament Building, the distinctive Black Mountain Tower and the imposing Royal Australian Mint complex. The entire design exudes harmony, combining the richness of Australian nature with the prestige and pride of national symbols in a single image. The obverse shows us in the center the left profile of the current ruler of Great Britain, King Charles III. Around the monarch's likeness we can read the name of the issuing country, the year of issue and the denomination of one Australian dollar.
