∙ 13y agoThe Royal Australian Mint does not specify the species of kangaroo on the Australian One Dollar coin. Most references to the coin refer to "5 kangaroos" only.
At a guess, I would suggest a "Big Red kangaroo" since it is the biggest and most impressive looking and is found in most parts of Australia.
