The Perth Mint introduced the Gold Kangaroo and Silver Kangaroo in 1990 as the first in a long-running series of bullion coins from the mint with new designs on the reverse each year. Further, the coins set a trend for featuring native wildlife on the reverse of the coins. The Gold Kangaroo proved to be the first in a series of three metallic options in the series. The coin is the only one of the major collections at the Perth Mint to feature gold, silver, and platinum coin options.

On the obverse of the 2021 Platinum Australian Kangaroos is a depiction of Queen Elizabeth II. Her Majesty features in right-profile relief in the sixth-generation design of the Queen for Australian coins. Wearing the George IV State Diadem Crown, this portrait is the first of the Queen on an Australian coin since 1966 with her neck and shoulders included in the bust.
The reverse side of the 2021 1 oz Platinum Australian Kangaroo is an image of a leaping kangaroo. The kangaroo is the largest living marsupial species and the species is endemic to the Australian continent. The kangaroos exist in four subspecies with the western grey, eastern grey, red, and antilopine kangaroos representative of the species. The red kangaroo is the most numerous in Australia and is the subspecies featured here on the reverse.
