Buy Australian Kangaroo Gold Coins at BOLD Precious Metals

The Perth Mint in Australia produces the Austrian Kangaroo coin. This coin was initially known as the Gold Nugget coin, created in 1986, but was changed in 1989 to feature an image of a Kangaroo in place of the Nugget. The coin's design is updated annually with a new Kangaroo image, adding numismatic value beyond intrinsic bullion worth. As a result, these coins are capable of appreciating over time. 

The Kangaroo coin series is available in gold and silver. Gold Kangaroo collection comes in 1 ounce and fractional-ounce variants such as 1/10 oz, 1/4 oz, and 1/2 oz offering investors a range of options. Perth Mint unveiled the Kangaroo coin in silver in 2016, followed by its introduction in platinum in 2017.

About Perth Mint

The Perth Mint is the oldest mint and precious metal refinery in the South Pacific region of Australia. It has been in operation since 1899 and was the third and final mint under the Royal Mint of London system during British colonial rule in Australia. Remarkably, while its partner facilities within the Royal Mint system ceased operations, the Perth Mint endured.

Although Australia became a commonwealth of six independent states in 1902, the Perth Mint remained under British authority until the 1970s. During this time, it significantly produced over 106 million gold sovereigns and 735,000 half-sovereigns, which served as currency in Australia and the British Empire.

In the precious metal industry, the Perth Mint has remained popular in setting higher standards for quality and purity. An extraordinary illustration of this was in 1957 when it crafted a 13 oz gold plate with an unprecedented purity level of .999999.

By 2000, the mint's total lifetime gold production reached an impressive 4,500 tonnes, accounting for 3.25% of all gold ever produced by humankind. In 2011, the Perth Mint achieved a remarkable feat by creating the world's largest, heaviest, and most valuable gold coin - 1 tonne Gold Kangaroo, which has a purity of .9999 fine gold. The coin held an impressive face value of $1 million (AUD).

After 1970, the Perth Mint was acquired and managed by the authorities of Western Australia. Today, Perth Mint is a major player in worldwide bullion production and functions independently. Despite this independence, all coins produced by the Perth Mint remain legal tender in Australia, as defined by the Currency Act 1965.

History of the Australian Kangaroo Gold Coin

Australia's first legal tender gold bullion coin was the Australian gold Nugget coin, which was introduced in 1986. Later, in 1989, the esteemed mint changed the coin's design to feature the iconic Australian kangaroo, and it was renamed the Australian Gold Kangaroo coin. Yet, their origins can be traced back to the Nugget coin. This particular coin showcased a design inspired by an Australian nugget, paying homage to the country's rich history of gold discoveries. Struck from .9999 fine gold, it has become a significant symbol of Australia's valuable natural resources.

Due to the immense popularity of the Australian gold nugget, a decision was made in 1990 to change the design to showcase Australian wildlife, specifically the kangaroo. Alongside the new design featuring the iconic kangaroo, modifications were made to the coin's weight and purity, further enhancing its appeal. These changes contributed to the Australian gold Kangaroo becoming one of the most sought-after coins produced by the Perth Mint.

The historical significance of gold in Australia and the popularity of the Australian nugget coin have greatly contributed to the appeal and value of gold Kangaroo coins, making them highly sought-after by collectors worldwide. These coins stand out from other international bullion coins due to their exquisite designs and connection to Australia's gold history. Therefore, they hold a special place as prized and treasured assets for collectors and investors.

The Design of the Perth Mint Kangaroo Gold Coin

Perth Mint has been producing gold Kangaroo coins since 1986. Its reverse side showcases a yearly changing design of a Kangaroo in motion against a backdrop of rays of sunlight. In contrast, the obverse side features an effigy of Queen Elizabeth II.

Originally, the gold Kangaroo displayed a hopping kangaroo design with the year mintage, which remained consistent from 1986 to 1989. The design has evolved, with the current depiction created by Aleysha Howarth. Her winning design symbolizes the Kangaroo's energy and spirit.

On one side of the coin is an effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, surrounded by inscriptions of 'Elizabeth II,' 'Australia,' and the coin's denomination. The other side showcases a new depiction of a Kangaroo each year. The top of the coin bears the label 'Australian Kangaroo,' while the bottom provides details of the coin's year of minting, size, and purity level (.9999).

Throughout the years, various designers have contributed to the gold Kangaroo coin's artwork. Stuart Devlin, a notable Australian designer recognized for his work on the Australian decimal coinage, crafted the original design.
