More about the Gold Kangaroo

The obverse of the Australian Gold Kangaroo bears a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II. However, the reverse has undergone changes since the coin's release. At first, the reverse of these coins depicted an Australian Gold nugget. In 1989, the design changed and instead featured a more widely recognized symbol of Australia: the kangaroo. An iconic representation of the fascinating wildlife inhabiting Australia, the Australian kangaroo brings the Gold Kangaroo bullion coin series to life. The Australian Kangaroo coins vary in design and are meticulously made. Struck from .9999 fine Gold, the Gold Australian Kangaroo is among a few major pure Gold bullion coins that change their reverse design annually. Many of the Gold Kangaroos come individually packaged.

Australian Gold Kangaroos are issued in 1 oz, 1/2 oz, 1/4 oz, 1/10 oz and 1/20 oz sizes with face values in Australian dollars. In addition to these typical sizes, the Gold Kangaroos have also been released in larger sizes, including 2 oz, 10 oz and 32.15 oz (1 kilo) Gold coins.
