Why buy a gold Kangaroo coin?
Choosing a Kangaroo gold coin is a combination of investment value, purity, and aesthetics. The unique annual design of the Australian kangaroo makes the coin particularly popular with both investors and collectors.
Unlike standard investment coins like the Maple Leaf or Krugerrand, the Kangaroo has a distinct and recognizable character. The interplay of design and gold content (99.99% pure) makes this an excellent option for those looking to buy physical gold.
Minted by The Perth Mint: quality and trust
The gold Kangaroo is issued by The Perth Mint, one of the world's oldest and most renowned coin producers (established in 1899). As the official Australian government mint, the Kangaroo has a face value based on its weight and is considered legal tender in Australia.
Each coin is clearly marked with its weight and purity, ensuring a reliable and transparent product.

History of the Australian Kangaroo coin
The coin was introduced in 1986 by The Perth Mint under the name Australian Nugget. Initially, the coins featured images of famous Australian gold nuggets, but this was less appealing to international investors.
Nugget Years (1986–1989)
- Design featuring gold nugget images such as the “Welcome Stranger”
- International recognition, but less visually appealing
Transition to the Kangaroo (from 1989)
- Design changed to the kangaroo, Australia’s national symbol
- Annually changing motif, appealing to collectors
- Official name: “Australian Nugget Kangaroo”, but known worldwide as Kangaroo Gold
