FAMOUS MARSUPIAL

Australia’s most famous marsupial, the kangaroo has appeared on The Perth Mint’s signature coin series since 1989. With superbly observed portrayals of the iconic animal, the renowned Australian Kangaroo series offers pieces featuring ‘reverse gilding’, which switches the selective application of surface gold from a coin’s central motif to the background design details.

REVERSE GILDED DESIGN

The coin portrays a large kangaroo about to leap over a parched creek bed. A windmill and water storage tank, depicted in the background, are gilded in 24-carat gold. As well as the inscription ‘KANGAROO’, the design includes the coin’s weight, purity, 2024 year-date, and a ‘P125’ mintmark signifying The Perth Mint’s 125th anniversary.

H.M. KING CHARLES III EFFIGY

The obverse of each coin depicts the Dan Thorne effigy of His Majesty King Charles III, and the monetary denomination.

PRESENTATION PACKAGING

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.
