Gold Nugget and Kangaroo Series
The Gold Nugget and Kangaroo coin series was first introduced in 1987 by Gold Corp., an entity owned by the Western Australian government who oversees operations at The Perth Mint. Today, not only are the Gold Kangaroos available in the 1 oz gold BU coin, but also in smaller fractional sizes as well as the large format gold 1 kilo.
Gold Kangaroo Design
In 1990, the Australian Gold Nugget coin was changed to feature the kangaroo. While the obverse of this series bears a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II each year from 1990 to 2003 and the effigy of King Charles III beginning in 2024, the 1 oz and fractional gold sizes feature a yearly changing design of Australia’s most recognizable animal. The 1 kilo gold coin reverse remains consistent yearly with the iconic red kangaroo design.
