About the Silver Kangaroos
Silver Kangaroos produced by the Perth Mint have to increased premiums in recent years consistent with other sovereign mints. The Kangaroo is one of the lowest priced silver coins produced by a sovereign mint, similar in price to Britannias or Philharmonics. The Kangaroo is a bullion coin minted without arbitrary production caps, making it easier for the coin to find price equilibrium in the market. With the Silver Eagles’ supply constraints, the Silver Kangaroo overtook the Eagle as the most bought silver coin in the world recently. As this coin is produced with volume in mind, it should be expected that premiums remain reasonable compared to other coins. Kangaroos can sometimes be purchased for less than the price of generic silver bars and rounds.
