| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a stylised Australian kangaroo warning road sign rendered in diamond form at the centre of the coin field, with a leaping kangaroo in high relief occupying the sign's interior. The five stars of the Southern Cross constellation appear in the upper right quadrant of the field, outside the sign border. The weight and fineness inscription 1 kg .999 Ag is incused in the lower left area of the sign, and the designer's monogram WP appears at the lower right of the field. The overall composition contrasts frosted relief elements against a mirror-polished proof background. |

| Additional information |
The "Kangaroo Road Sign" belongs to Perth Mint's long-running series of kilogram silver issues, which by 2013 had become a reliable vehicle for capturing the Asian bullion-collector market — particularly in China, where large-format silver was gaining ground as both investment and gift. The $30 face value is nominally Australian legal tender, though the denomination has no practical relationship to the coin's silver content or market value.
Ian Rank-Broadley's fourth portrait of Elizabeth II, used here, was adopted by Australian coinage in 1999.
