2008 1oz Silver Proof Kangaroo – Reg Mombassa

Legendary Australian Reg Mombassa has designed the second of the Australian Artist Kangaroo series with this 2008 Silver Kangaroo Coin.  Famous for his distinctive style, Reg is a freelance designer and has been commissioned to produce a number of installations, album covers, T-shirts and posters.

Reg first came to be loved by Australians as an entertainer with the band Mental as Anything and later with his band Dog Trumpet.  Since then he has developed his career to be a truly international artist in fine art and design, as well as entertainment.  The Royal Australian Mint is proud to present the Reg Mombassa design on this master crafted Silver coin.

The 2008 1oz Proof Silver Kangaroo features a kangaroo in Aussie suburbia ready for a game of football, designed by Reg Mombassa. The Ian Rank-Broadley profile of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and the monetary denomination are shown on the obverse.
