Australian Kangaroo Coin Series

Australia’s most famous marsupial, the kangaroo has appeared on The Perth Mint’s signature coin series since 1989. Featuring superbly observed portrayals of the iconic animal, the Australian Kangaroo Coin Series has a reputation for quality, purity and design that extends around the globe.

Anniversary 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. The 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.
