Where is the largest Roo?

Are there any with just a 'shoulders-up' Roo bust?

Old Australian copper pennies? They had a full kangaroo and were huge;
same size as a British penny I think.

There's the Australian dollar with the stylized representation of a 'roo.

I think its the Aussie silver 1 dollar coins.

I also have an aussie silver 1 dollar (1995) showing a roo from neck up.

I posted it on a.b.p.n a month or so back along with other aussie roo's
and kook's, but if i recall you can't get a.b.p.n. via youtr ISP.

Want a scan by email?

I love that one, with Skippy in full motion. Is it the largest, though?

Here's a set of six Australian Silver Kangaroos I sold a while back...the first
is a shoulders-up bust, but I can't remember the date on that one:

I can get it on teranews, but they don't seem to keep the posts up very
long. Either way would be good by me!

Thanks, Phil! I like the one in the lower left. I did not know that
they could be trained as pickpockets (or received allowances).

If you include the 1oz silver bullion rounds, then the '95 is the best
"undraped bust" portrait.

If you mean genuine, dinki-di, non-made-for-collectors coins, then the
1938-1964 penny is the biggest. (As shown he

I've got about 30-40 kg of 'em. Want some?
