A 40-Year Legacy of Australian Gold Craftsmanship

The Australian Gold Kangaroo, originally launched as the Australian Gold Nugget Series in 1986, has become a global icon of purity and design innovation. The series began by featuring famous Australian gold nuggets before transitioning in 1989 to its now-celebrated Kangaroo motif — a symbol of Australia’s unique wildlife and forward-moving spirit.

The 2026 edition marks the 40th anniversary of this prestigious series, commemorated by a special “40” privy mark on the coin’s reverse. This feature not only celebrates the Mint’s historic achievement but also distinguishes the coin as a limited and collectible issue within the Perth Mint’s bullion portfolio.

The Perth Mint – Excellence Through the Ages

Founded in 1899, the Perth Mint remains a cornerstone of global precious metals production, renowned for its precision, purity, and artistry. Each Gold Kangaroo coin is struck with meticulous attention to detail and backed by the Australian Government for both weight and fineness.

The Gold Kangaroo Series has earned worldwide recognition for its annually changing designs, making it a favorite among investors and collectors alike. The 2026 release continues this proud tradition with modern minting innovation and symbolic depth, making it a standout in the series’ 40-year history.
