^{The mob}

Canberra, the capital of Australia, is my husband’s home town.

^{Where is Canberra? There is Canberra.}

Because of it’s unique layout and rural aspect, it is also home to heaps of Kangaroos!

^{Marsupials in the house!}

Many government agencies are headquartered in Canberra, including The Royal Australian Mint.

But what does this mean for ME and for you? 😂

For me it means my husband snuck off to the mint on his recent visit home to get me a sweet Christmas gift! For you (and by you of course I primarily mean members of #ssg), it means silver slabber time. 😂

^{First.... a box.}

Since 1993, the Royal Australian Mint has issued a series of silver coins devoted to kangaroos. Within this grander series, certain annual releases have been linked together under a common theme. The most recent theme, Seasons Change, began in 2016. Each release corresponds to a season on the calendar while depicting a season of life for the Eastern Grey Kangaroo.

This box holds the final edition of the Seasons Change kangaroo series. This four coin run ends in 2019 with the Autumn coin.

^{Certificate of Authenticity}

Coins in the kanagaroo series are minted in very low quantities. While early releases were minted on demand, the mintage is now fixed. Each release is set at 10,000 for frosted uncirculated coins with an additional 5,000 proofs.

^{Revealing the shiny}

^{Autumn: The life of the joey depicted in the 2016 coins comes full circle in 2019 as she is now shown as mother to her own joey.}

This is a proof coin, number 841/5000. It is one ounce and .999 pure with a one dollar face value. The 2019 proof kangaroo is available for purchase for $100AUD ($71USD). The frosted uncirculated version sells for $80AUD ($57USD).

But most importantly.... BABY KANGAROO!!!! 😍❤️

High premium, low premium, trade or gift... if you love it, stack it. No regrets!
