Produced by the world-renowned Perth Mint, this investment-grade gold coin combines exceptional purity, stunning annual design changes, and global investor demand, making it a popular choice for both collectors and precious metals investors.
Containing one troy ounce of .9999 fine gold, the Australian Gold Kangaroo is internationally recognised for its quality, authenticity, and liquidity. Since its introduction, the series has become one of the flagship bullion coin programmes in the world, competing alongside other major bullion coins such as the Gold Britannia, American Gold Eagle, Canadian Gold Maple Leaf, and South African Krugerrand.
At 888 Bullion, we are proud to offer authentic Australian Gold Kangaroo coins sourced through trusted precious metals networks. Whether you are purchasing your first ounce of gold or expanding an established portfolio, the Gold Kangaroo remains one of the finest ways to invest in physical gold.
The story of the Australian Gold Kangaroo begins in 1986 when the Perth Mint launched the Australian Gold Nugget series.
Originally, these coins featured famous Australian gold nuggets discovered during the country's historic gold rush era. At the time, Australia was already one of the world's largest gold-producing nations, and the Perth Mint sought to create a world-class bullion coin capable of competing with established international products.
While the Gold Nugget series proved popular, the Perth Mint recognised that a more universally recognisable Australian symbol could further strengthen the coin's appeal.
In 1989, the reverse design was changed from gold nuggets to Australia's most famous national icon – the kangaroo.
The transition proved to be a remarkable success.
The kangaroo is instantly associated with Australia around the world, making the coin immediately recognisable to both investors and collectors. Since that change, the series has become known globally as the Australian Gold Kangaroo.
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.
One of the most unique features of the Australian Gold Kangaroo series is its changing reverse design.
Unlike many bullion coins that retain the same artwork year after year, the Perth Mint introduces a new kangaroo design annually. This means each year offers collectors and investors something different while maintaining the coin's strong bullion credentials.
The reverse designs have featured kangaroos in a wide range of artistic styles and natural Australian settings, helping to create ongoing collector demand throughout the series.
This annual design variation makes the Gold Kangaroo particularly appealing because it combines investment-grade gold content with collectable potential.
Many investors appreciate the opportunity to own a bullion coin that also offers artistic value and long-term numismatic interest.
The Australian Gold Kangaroo has earned a reputation as one of the world's premier gold bullion coins.
Its combination of purity, government backing, and international recognition has made it a favourite among precious metals investors for decades.
Each 1oz Gold Kangaroo contains one full troy ounce of .9999 fine gold, making it one of the purest gold bullion coins available.
Produced by the Perth Mint, the Gold Kangaroo is recognised and traded worldwide, providing excellent liquidity and resale opportunities.
The coin's weight and purity are guaranteed by the Australian Government through the Perth Mint, providing investors with additional confidence.
The changing kangaroo artwork creates ongoing collector interest and distinguishes the series from many competing bullion products.
Physical gold has long been used as a store of wealth and hedge against inflation, currency weakness, and economic uncertainty. The Gold Kangaroo provides investors with a trusted and internationally recognised method of owning physical gold.
Founded in 1899 during the Western Australian gold rush, the Perth Mint is one of the world's most respected precious metals refiners and mints.
Originally established as a branch of Britain's Royal Mint, the Perth Mint has grown into a globally recognised producer of investment-grade precious metals.
Today, its products are sold throughout the world and are renowned for exceptional quality, security features, and craftsmanship.
