Signature series

Australia’s most famous marsupial, the kangaroo has appeared on our best known coin series since 1989. Featuring superbly observed portrayals of the iconic animal, the Australian Kangaroo is beloved around the world for design, quality, purity, and an extensive array of exquisite finishes and treatments.

High relief with colour

The coin’s high relief reverse portrays a coloured representation of 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.
