1999 $1 Kangaroo 1oz Silver Proof Coin

Taking pride of place on the reverse is a kangaroo family, the female carrying a joey in her pouch. Often a joey stays in its mother’s pouch for over seven months, venturing out occasionally but returning when frightened. Struck in fine silver to the Royal Australian Mint’s highest standard, the kangaroo family is featured as a delicately frosted image against a mirror-like background.
