Produced by the South African Mint, it has remained a popular choice for investors thanks to its strong reputation, global liquidity, and excellent value in the gold market. Although struck in 22-carat gold, each Krugerrand is minted to a total weight ensuring it contains exactly 1 troy ounce of pure gold.

In 1989, the reverse design was changed to Australia’s most famous national icon — the kangaroo — and the series has been known globally as the Australian Gold Kangaroo ever since. Today, the Gold Kangaroo is considered one of the leading bullion coin programmes worldwide and is traded by investors, institutions, and precious metals dealers across the globe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eAnnual Design Changes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne of the most unique features of the Australian Gold Kangaroo series is its changing reverse design.
