The iconic Kangaroo series of the Perth Mint officially transitioned from being known as “The Golden Nugget” to the “Kangaroo” in 2008. This change was a pivotal moment in bullion history, as the Perth Mint implemented the ever-changing design of the Kangaroo to their coin. With only 15,530 total 1/2 oz coins in circulation, this 9999 pure gold coin enjoys a “hard to find” status among bullion collectors.

The reverse displays a mother Red Kangaroo with her “Joey” or baby Kangaroo in her pouch as she hopes through the Australian wilderness. This is the first coin in the Kangaroo series to display the official new name “Australian Kangaroo” above, while the denomination, and 9999 gold content are also seen.

Ian Rank-Broadley’s contemporary effigy of Queen Elizabeth II is held on the reverse, with the Queen’s title, the year of issue, and the coins $50 denominational value also included.

1/2 oz gold coins provide an affordable means of diversifying ones portfolio with a great addition. Australian Gold Kangaroo’s receive steady demand for their gold content and the unique feature of being one of the only bullion coins with an evolving reverse design.

ABOUT THE PERTH MINT

The Perth Mint opened in 1899 as the British Royal Mint's 3rd branch in Australia. The historical Hay Street location handled gold refining until moving to a modern facility in April 1990. Ownership of the mint was transferred to the Government of Western Australia in July of 1970. Under an agreement with the Commonwealth Treasury, they were empowered to mint and market gold, silver, and platinum as Australian legal tender to investors and collectors worldwide. Today, they are amongst the elite world mints whose pure gold, silver, and platinum items are trusted without question. Items such as the Australian Nugget, Silver Coin Series (Kangaroo, Kookaburra, Koala, and Platypus to name a few), as well as the Australian Lunar Gold and Silver Coin Series are extensively sought after by bullion investors worldwide.
