Australia Kangaroo Coin

Originally released in 1986 as the Gold Nugget, the Australian Gold Kangaroo was rebranded by the Perth Mint in 1989 to feature bounding images of the nation’s iconic marsupials amidst the Outback on the reverse while the obverse presents Queen Elizabeth II as Australia’s constitutional monarch. Crisp and intricate new designs are introduced each year across a variety of weights from 1/20 ounce to a full kilogram of 99.99% pure gold with legal tender status denominated in Australian dollars. The annual changing reverse Kangaroo motifs and limited mintage volumes make the Gold Kangaroos especially popular among collectors celebrating Australia’s wildlife on coveted 24-karat bullion coins.
