This 1995-dated Royal Australian Mint Kangaroo is a carded edition, meaning it is presented in the collector's packaging. The coin is, therefore, encapsulated and mounted on the display card as issued by the Royal Australian Mint in 1995. The reverse design shows an up-close portrait of Australia's national animal, which is complemented by the royal coinage effigy of Elizabeth II to the obverse. The finish of this 1oz 1995 Kangaroo is listed as 'frosted uncirculated', meaning it holds the famous finish which has set the series apart in the eyes of silver collectors for decades. This pre-owned carded Kangaroo also contains the standard one troy ounce of pure silver content.

The 1995 1oz carded Kangaroo's obverse holds a profile of Elizabeth II between two inscriptions. The first reads 'ELIZABETH II,' followed by 'AUSTRALIA 1995'.
Unlike the previous two in the series, Horst Hahne's 1995 Kangaroo reverse design includes only the head of a kangaroo, with fine fur detail. Below the portrait of Australia's national animal reads '1OUNCE FINE SILVER'. Above legend, in larger lettering, says 'ONE DOLLAR'.
The Royal Australian Mint struck the 1995 Silver Kangaroo to its uncirculated bullion finish, sometimes called 'prooflike'. Of note for this collectable carded release is the frosted field and shiny central devices - in contrast to many examples of the time, and a driver of this aesthetic trend. The 40.00 millimetre $1 coin is minted with 1.00 troy ounce of pure silver, is struck in .999 silver, and has a gross weight of 31.10 grams.
This silver Kangaroo coin is presented in a capsule, mounted within the presentation card from the Royal Australian Mint. A limited number were struck, with these carded presentations being among the most collectable way to obtain them.
