Title:

Australia Penny (Kangaroo reverse)

Description:
Coin appears to be an Australian pre-decimal bronze penny reverse (“tails”). Visible legends include “AUSTRALIA” around the upper rim and “PENNY” at the bottom, with “ONE” and “PENNY” (the denomination) in the central lower area. The central design shows a kangaroo in profile (typical Australian penny reverse motif). The coin is heavily circulated/dirty with significant wear and surface corrosion/toning, making the date and finer details difficult to read from the provided image. No packaging is shown and no barcode/UPC/EAN is visible.

Based on web references for Australian pennies (kangaroo reverse) and standard specifications for the Australian 1 penny series, this type is typically bronze with a plain edge, approximately 9.45 g weight, and approximately 30.8 mm diameter. The kangaroo reverse design for Australian pennies is associated with designer George Kruger Gray for the later kangaroo-type reverses; however, the exact year and subtype cannot be confirmed from this single worn reverse image because the date is not visible.
