The 2021 Outback Majesty 1oz Fine Silver Proof Coin forms part of the Royal Australian Mint’s long-running Kangaroo Series, now in its twenty-eighth year. Designed to honour Australia’s most recognisable marsupial, the coin captures the kangaroo as the symbolic ruler of the nation’s vast interior. The designer was provided with an open brief, resulting in a bold interpretation of the outback landscape through geometric shapes, layered textures and strong directional elements that represent the red centre and the ever-present sun. At the heart of the composition is a kangaroo in mid-bound, its musculature and movement rendered in precise shallow relief.

Struck in 1oz of fine silver to proof quality, the coin demonstrates the Mint’s continued commitment to craftsmanship across its numismatic programmes. The obverse carries the standard effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, confirming its status as Australian legal tender.

This release also adopts the Royal Australian Mint’s new sustainable packaging. Made from bamboo and bagasse, the lightweight paper pulp case offers durability while reducing material impact, reflecting the Mint’s shift toward environmentally responsible presentation. The coin is housed in a protective capsule and accompanied by a numbered certificate of authenticity.

Limited to a mintage of 5,000, the Outback Majesty silver proof coin is a significant addition for collectors of modern Australian issues, wildlife themes, or the long-running Kangaroo Series. It combines contemporary design with traditional craftsmanship, presenting a detailed tribute to the enduring presence of the kangaroo in Australia’s identity and landscape.
