Why Buyers Trust BOLD
We've operated as a precious metals dealer since 2015. The record is public: a 4.3-star Trustpilot rating across 872 verified reviews, a 4.3 Google average, and a BBB A+ accreditation with fewer than 16 complaints in three years. We're affiliated with 10+ global mints — including the Perth Mint that strikes every Kangaroo coin we carry. Those aren't marketing claims; they're checkable facts.
First issued as the Australian Gold Nugget. Renamed the Kangaroo in 1990 when the reverse design changed.
Four-nines purity — one of the highest standards for any mass-produced bullion coin globally.
Originally a branch of the British Royal Mint. Now a Crown entity of Western Australia, producing coins for 75+ countries.
1 oz, 1/2 oz, 1/4 oz, 1/10 oz, and 1/20 oz — four of which qualify for a self-directed precious metals IRA.
| Size | Weight | Diameter | Face Value (AUD) | IRA Eligible |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 oz | 31.1035 g | 32.10 mm | $100 | Yes |
| 1/2 oz | 15.5518 g | 25.10 mm | $50 | Yes |
| 1/4 oz | 7.7759 g | 20.10 mm | $25 | Yes |
| 1/10 oz | 3.1103 g | 16.10 mm | $15 | Yes |
| 1/20 oz | 1.5552 g | 14.10 mm | $5 | No |
Every Kangaroo coin holds two sources of value: the gold content itself and a collector premium driven by the annual design change. The Perth Mint releases a new kangaroo portrait each year — meaning prior-year coins can trade above spot once the year's issue closes. For buyers who want gold content with a documented numismatic upside, that combination is worth noting.
Australian Kangaroo Gold Coins are legal tender under the Australian Currency Act 1965. The Perth Mint — established in 1899 — guarantees the weight and purity of every coin it strikes. At .9999 fine gold, these coins carry one of the highest purity standards available in any mass-produced bullion coin. BOLD verifies authenticity on every coin we stock.
Australian Kangaroo Gold Coins are recognized by dealers worldwide. Because they're government-issued, .9999 fine, and traded globally, you can sell them without assay documentation. If you're buying gold and want a clear path back out, Kangaroos are one of the most straightforward exits in the bullion market.
Five size options mean buyers can accumulate incrementally or hold a portion of their gold in smaller, more divisible units. The 1 oz coin carries the lowest per-ounce premium and is the most liquid size for resale. Fractional coins let buyers enter at a lower dollar amount without giving up the coin's recognition premium.
The most common question I get from first-time buyers: "Is the Kangaroo the same coin as the Gold Nugget?" Yes — it's the same series, same mint, same government backing. The name changed; the purity didn't.
| Period | Name | Reverse Design | Purity |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1986–1989 | Australian Gold Nugget | Gold nuggets (Holtermann, Welcome Stranger) | .9999 |
| 1990–present | Australian Kangaroo | New kangaroo portrait each year | .9999 |
| 2023–present | Australian Kangaroo | Kangaroo portrait + King Charles III obverse | .9999 |
Buying Prior-Year Coins
Pre-1990 "Gold Nugget" coins carry the same .9999 purity and government backing as modern Kangaroos. They can command a slight collector premium due to lower surviving populations, but trade at essentially the same liquidity. For IRA purposes, both series qualify (1 oz, 1/2 oz, 1/4 oz, 1/10 oz sizes) since eligibility is based on purity, not design.
Four of the five Kangaroo sizes meet the IRS fineness threshold of .995 for self-directed precious metals IRAs. The 1/20 oz size does not qualify — buyers using a self-directed IRA should select 1/10 oz or larger.
Kangaroo coins exceed the IRS fineness requirement by a significant margin. Both bullion and proof variants qualify.
1 oz, 1/2 oz, 1/4 oz, and 1/10 oz all qualify. The 1/20 oz does not meet IRS requirements.

The Perth Mint releases a new kangaroo portrait each year as a deliberate policy to create collectible value alongside gold content value. Prior-year coins can trade above spot once the year's issue closes, giving buyers a potential numismatic upside on top of their gold content.
They are the same coin series. From 1986–1989, the reverse depicted gold nuggets and the coin was marketed as the Australian Gold Nugget. In 1990 the Perth Mint changed the reverse to a kangaroo and rebranded. Coins from both eras carry the same government backing and .9999 fine gold standard — and both qualify for a precious metals IRA.
