The Royal Australian Mint’s Kangaroo Series has long fascinated International and Australian Collectors alike with its always striking depictions of an Australian icon. The 2010 Kangaroo Series is no exception, and is sure to delight with a detailed image of the Yellow-Footed Rock Wallaby.

The Yellow-Footed Rock Wallaby prefers the cover of night for its feeding and socializing most of the year round. Listed as vulnerable under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999, and having been at times endangered and threatened, the population of Yellow-Footed Rock Wallabies is now in a slow but stable recovery pattern. It is programs undertaken by authorities and conservation organizations in New South Wales and South Australia that have made this recovery possible.
