August Release – Bush Capital Kangaroo Series

The Mint proudly presents Bush Capital, the 32nd release in our renowned Kangaroo Series. These stunning coins honour Canberra, Australia’s bush capital and the city’s emblematic Eastern Grey Kangaroo.

Designed by Mint coin designer Bronwyn Scott, the reverse captures the powerful motion of a bounding kangaroo set against a distinctly stylised Canberra landscape. The design weaves together iconic landmarks including the Royal Australian Mint, Parliament House, Black Mountain Tower and a sky dotted with five majestic hot air balloons. Swirling hills echo the region’s rolling terrain, intertwined with abstract gum tree patterns that evoke Canberra’s natural bushland beauty.

This artistic composition celebrates Canberra’s special blend of urban sophistication and natural charm, reflecting the close connection between the city and its natural environment. The Eastern Grey Kangaroo, a familiar sight in Canberra’s parks and reserves, is a proud emblem of the city’s natural identity. The obverse features the effigy of His Majesty King Charles III, designed by Daniel Thorne.

Whether admired for its artistic detail or symbolic significance, the Bush Capital coin stands as a proud tribute to Australia’s capital and this iconic marsupial.
