Story

A timeless Australian icon

A powerful symbol of national pride, the kangaroo embodies the spirit, resilience, and natural beauty of Australia. As a result, it takes pride of place on the nation’s signature investment coin series.

2026 kangaroo design

The coin’s reverse portrays two kangaroos leaping across the water. The background features water ripples and splashes with a mountain landscape in the distance. A privy mark with the number 40 pays tribute to the 40th anniversary of the Australian Nugget, the first official Australian legal tender gold coin series. Included within the design is the inscription ‘KANGAROO’ and The Perth Mint’s ‘P’ mintmark, along with the coin’s weight, purity and 2026 year-date. The coin’s obverse depicts the Dan Thorne effigy of His Majesty King Charles III, and the monetary denomination.
