Experience the majesty of Australia’s iconic wildlife with the 1 oz Australian Gold Kangaroo Coin. Struck by the prestigious Perth Mint, this stunning .9999 fine gold coin showcases the artistic brilliance and minting precision that collectors around the world admire. Issued in Brilliant Uncirculated or Proof condition, each coin delivers not only investment-grade quality but also remarkable visual appeal.

Originally introduced in 1986 as the “Australian Gold Nugget,” this series was renamed in 1989 to feature the country’s most beloved marsupial—the kangaroo. Since then, its annually changing reverse designs have made the coin a highly desirable piece for investors and collectors alike. No two years are the same, with each issue offering a glimpse into Australia’s natural beauty and gold coin artistry.

Echoes of the Outback in Fine Gold

The 1 oz Australian Gold Kangaroo/Nugget Coin offers more than just a tangible store of wealth—it captures the essence of the Australian outback in every design. Some years feature a lone kangaroo bounding across the desert, while others showcase tender family scenes or dramatic action poses. Occasionally, you may also find a rare throwback to the coin’s “Nugget” origins. On the obverse, the regal image of Queen Elizabeth II—designed by Ian Rank-Broadley—lends a classic elegance to this 24-karat gold masterpiece. Her portrait is accentuated by a two-tone frosted finish that brings depth and texture to the design.
