The remaining 3,000 are reserved for a unique 2016 Proof Australian Silver Kangaroo Four-Coin Set that includes a 1 oz, 1/2 oz, and 1/10 oz coin, as well.
Each of these 2016 1/4 oz Proof Australian Silver Kangaroo Coins is available from the Perth Mint inside of a protective black case.

A numbered Certificate of Authenticity is included with your purchase as well.
The reverse side of all Proof Australian Silver Kangaroo Coins features the image of a kangaroo as it hops across the Outback. The stylized background represents the rising sun in the distance, with its rays of light stretching to the very edges of the coin’s design field.
On the obverse of the 2016 1/4 oz Proof Australian Silver Kangaroo you’ll find the image of Queen Elizabeth II. Captured in right-profile relief, it was created by Ian Rank-Broadley and is accompanied by engravings identifying the Queen, nation of issue, and face value of the coin.
The kangaroo is the world’s largest marsupial species, with four recognized subspecies of kangaroo found on the Australian continent. It is loosely related to other marsupials, such as the wallaby and koala.

"Amazing service and hospitality from the staff at IDC! Jason was so attentive and patient in our search for our ideal watches. He took us through several options, had us try every watch we were interested in, took our information and continued searching for options. A few hours later, we had our watches on hold and ready for pick up! He located a watch that I LOVE, and a unique piece for my husband. We are grateful to have found our new Jeweler for many pieces to come!"
