Story

Australia’s most famous marsupial

The kangaroo is synonymous with Australia. Millions inhabit this wide brown land, from the arid interior to bushland, parks and other open spaces fringing our cities. With a superb new artistic impression each year, the Australian Kangaroo Gold Bullion Coin Series celebrates Australia’s most famous marsupial.

2024 kangaroo design

The coin portrays a large kangaroo about to jump over a parched creek bed. The exceptional art includes a windmill and water storage tank, vital infrastructure on rural properties across the country. As well as coin’s weight and fineness, the design includes a ‘P125’ mintmark, signifying The Perth Mint’s 125th anniversary.

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

Authentication feature

The coin incorporates an authentication feature on the reverse. In the form of a micro-laser engraved letter, it is only detectable under a magnifying glass.

Unlimited mintage

The coin is subject to an unlimited mintage, however, production will close at the end of 2024, after which The Perth Mint will declare its final mintage number.

Presentation

The coin is presented in a protective acrylic capsule.
