The designer was given an open brief to create a coin that celebrates the iconic kangaroo as the majestic king of the outback. 
The expansive and arid beauty of Australia’s red centre and the ever-present sun are stunningly represented in the design with strong geometric shapes that are rich with textural detail. 
While the noble kangaroo, in mid bound takes its rightful place in the centre on the coin. Each muscle and nuanced angle lovingly rendered in elegant shallow relief.
