Comment
Coin struck by the RAM but issued by Australia Post as change into circulation from 3500 Post Offices Australia wide. The coins are featuring 26 classic Aussie icons from letters of the Alphabet from A to Z.This coin is the Letter "K" for Kangaroo. It's no wonder the kangaroo is an international icon of Australia: There are more kangaroos here than there are people, they can hop faster than a racehorse can run and they are not known to back down from a boxing match. The kangaroo animal family name Macropodidae means 'big foot'.
A press in album for the 26 coins was available for $9 or you can buy the full set of 26 coins in a special tube including the album for $49.
