The Perth Mint has been producing the Australian Kangaroo coin since 1986, representing the inaugural gold coin series in Australia. This is a reliable investment choice. The coin incorporates micro-laser engraved letters for authentication, visible only under magnification to ensure buyers' confidence.
The kangaroo, deeply intertwined with Australia's indigenous heritage and named from the Guugu Yimithirr term "gangurru," is now widely regarded as Australia's quintessential animal emblem. The coin's reverse showcases a kangaroo in a unique backward-glancing pose, set against a backdrop of eucalyptus and grass trees, capturing the essence of Australia's culture and natural beauty. The design includes the inscription "KANGAROO," the Perth Mint's "P" mintmark, weight, purity, and the issue year. The obverse features Queen Elizabeth II's effigy designed by Jody Clark, the years of her reign (1952-2022), issuing country and face value.
