Australian Silver Kangaroo — Matching 2022 and 2024–2026 One-Ounce Bullion

The matching 2022, 2024, 2025 and 2026 Australian Silver Kangaroo one-ounce bullion coins contain 1.000 fine troy ounce of .9999 silver. The issuer gives a minimum gross mass of 31.107 g. This calculation scope is specific to those inspected issues; earlier dates and other sizes retain separate references. Identify the full year, silver legend, denomination and finish before counting a holding.

When a fresh spot bid is available, melt values use fine-metal content × spot bid. CashForCoins guide buying offers use the separately configured percentage for each metal. Selected rare/numismatic coins require an appraisal. Dollar amounts remain unavailable when a fresh quote or buying percentage is missing.

Exact reviewed annual issue dates for this assigned metal/weight scope. Mint, design, overdate and finish combinations remain type-specific; broader headings do not fill absent annual rows. Source precision exceptions and separate alloy standards are explained in the guide. Earlier annual series history does not approve its numeric standards for this calculator.

Source precision
The designated reference world-silver melt table omits this modern family. No matching modern the reference numerical type was established in this review. The inspected current issuer specifications control only the matching 2022 and 2024–2026 one-ounce .9999 bullion issues: 1.000 fine troy ounce, minimum gross 31.107 g, maximum diameter 40.90 mm and maximum thickness 3.50 mm. Minimum/maximum measurements are retained as issuer limits, not individual specimen measurements. Earlier dates, other sizes and finishes need their own dated specifications; annual identity alone does not approve them for this calculator.

Calculate this coin’s metal content

One coin contains 1 troy oz of fine silver.

Formula: specified fine-metal troy ounces × quantity. Dollar melt value additionally requires an approved current metal price.

Obverse: identify the front

The 2022 ordinary bullion obverse features Jody Clark’s portrait of Queen Elizabeth II. The separately inspected 2024, 2025 and 2026 ordinary bullion obverses feature Dan Thorne’s portrait of King Charles III. Both identities have matching issuer-guaranteed one-ounce silver content and the same inspected dimensional limits, but the portrait and full date must retain their actual attribution. Do not transfer this identification to an older date or special issue without checking its own record.

Reverse: identify the back

The 2024 reverse depicts a bounding kangaroo surrounded by sunlight rays; 2025 uses a bounding kangaroo surrounded by sunlight rays; 2026 depicts a bounding kangaroo surrounded by sunlight rays. Preserve the complete year, weight and purity inscriptions. The ordinary 2024 issue carries P 125 for the Perth Mint anniversary, while the matching later products describe P. A tiny authentication feature can support comparison, but neither a visible mintmark nor a familiar animal certifies authenticity.

History and purpose

The Royal Australian Mint’s separate Kangaroo series began in 1993 and includes .999 one-ounce proof/frosted issues. The reference KM 490.1 gives the 2000B Kangaroo 31.1035 g/.999/.999 oz/40 mm, while KM 1083 gives the 2009 issue 31.105 g/.999/.999 oz/40 mm. These Canberra types are not the matching Perth .9999 bullion identity. The Perth issuer archive separately confirms one-ounce Red Kangaroo bullion issue rows for every year 2015–2023; the current brochures and products confirm 2022, 2024, 2025 and 2026.

How to identify this variant

For the matching current ordinary bullion, distinguish minimum 31.107 g gross mass from one fine troy ounce of silver. Maximum diameter is 40.90 mm and maximum thickness is 3.50 mm. These are issuer specification limits. Capsules, packaging, an animal design and a one-dollar face value do not establish metal, size or finish. No independent edge description is asserted here.

Understanding its metal content

Three matching one-ounce coins contain 3.000 fine silver troy ounces. Their combined issuer minimum gross mass is 93.321 g. Use guaranteed fine content directly rather than multiplying the separately rounded minimum gross display to infer extra silver. An older .999 reference, a fraction, a larger coin or a gold/platinum counterpart cannot inherit these inputs. Nominal content is separate from an assay, collector premium or purchase offer.

Dates, varieties and composition changes

Current specification-approved issue years: 2022, 2024, 2025, 2026. Earlier actual annual dates are documented separately in the linked issuer archives; those rows establish issue identity but do not approve every older numerical standard. Proof, high relief, colour, gilding, privy marks and other denominations must retain their exact year and type. They are not automatically ordinary one-ounce bullion.

Melt value versus collector value

Preserve a special finish, original certificate, packaging and documented variety when describing a collection. Condition and collector demand may matter beyond fine silver. A maximum mintage is a production limit rather than proof of final sales or rarity. Avoid cleaning or polishing; a brilliant surface alone does not establish proof manufacture.

Authenticity and condition

Provide both complete faces, edge views and any original certificate. Compare the exact year, portrait, denomination, silver legend and finish to its actual issuer record. Measured dimensions can screen obvious mismatches but do not authenticate the coin or an unverified assay. The public product photograph is a reference, not certification of another specimen.

Selling this coin

Separate the inspected current bullion from earlier alloys, sizes and special finishes. Include each full date and any supported privy or finish attribution in the existing CashForCoins photo-appraisal enquiry. Selected quantity gives useful holding context. Educational fine-metal content remains distinct from an actual appraisal or automatic purchase offer.

Sources and calculation methodology

The designated reference world-silver melt table omits this modern family. No matching modern the reference numerical type was established in this review. The inspected current issuer specifications control only the matching 2022 and 2024–2026 one-ounce .9999 bullion issues: 1.000 fine troy ounce, minimum gross 31.107 g, maximum diameter 40.90 mm and maximum thickness 3.50 mm. Minimum/maximum measurements are retained as issuer limits, not individual specimen measurements. Earlier dates, other sizes and finishes need their own dated specifications; annual identity alone does not approve them for this calculator. Public issuer records and exact annual rows were inspected on 2026-10-12. Existing historical the reference measurements remain separately recorded. No prices or mintages are republished.

The actual 2022 ordinary bullion issuer page independently confirms the same minimum gross mass and maximum dimensions used here. Numista’s photographed 2022 catalogue type displays 31.1035 g and 40.6 mm; those secondary values are not substituted for the issuer’s dated limits. Its photographer release provides image rights, not a new metal specification. The paired photograph must be labelled as the 2022 Elizabeth II example.

The actual dated representative photographs and independent reuse permissions were inspected. Complete faces are retained, with WebP conversion and no enlargement, retouching or synthetic reconstruction; joined source images are split with complete rims. These photographs do not assay another specimen. Actual staging rendering and calculator acceptance are separately recorded.

Common questions

Which years have matching current calculator inputs?2022, 2024, 2025 and 2026 ordinary one-ounce .9999 bullion. Earlier actual dates exist but need separately matched numerical references.
How much silver is in three matching coins?3.000 fine silver troy ounces, with a combined issuer minimum gross mass of 93.321 g. These are nominal issuer figures, not an appraisal or assay.
Can a proof or larger coin use this quantity calculation?Only after exact dated content and size verification. Proof, high relief, fractions, larger sizes, colour and gilding are separately identified rather than automatically assigned ordinary one-ounce inputs.
