The Perth Mint's highly-prized Gold Kangaroo .9999 fine gold bullion coin series has been a primary choice of investors from the date of its first release in 1989. Prior to this, Perth produced the original Gold Nugget gold bullion series (1986-89). That early series set the scene for the stellar 1989 introduction of the gold Kangaroo. The series features a different kangaroo design each year, which is also a tremendous draw for gold bullion coin collectors. This 2023 Gold Perth Kangaroo 1/4 oz BU release is a stunning example, as it continues the fine legacy of quality and beauty!
The obverse features the 6th generation effigy of Queen Elizabeth II to be displayed on Australian coins. The portrait is based on that designed by Jody Clark of the Royal Mint in 2016. It is distinctively different, however, in that it displays the Queen's shoulders and full neckline. This is a very lovely and graceful pose, and it is a very fitting depiction to celebrate Queen Elizabeth's life. The band at the rim includes the inscriptions, "ELIZABETH II . 1952-2022 . AUSTRALIA" at the top, and "25 DOLLARS" face value at the bottom.
The 2023 reverse design captures a finely detailed scene of a left-facing adult kangaroo standing in a relaxed position among a mix of native vegetation. Inscriptions encircling the rim include "KANGAROO" at the top-right corner, and "2023 1/4 oz 9999 GOLD" on the left. The Perth Mint P mintmark is displayed at the left.
This 2023 1/4 oz Gold Australian Kangaroo BU release is a beautiful addition to the series and would grace any collector's display, as well as increasing the investor's gold holdings.
