Originally named the Australian Gold Nugget, it featured a gold nugget design. However, in 1989, it underwent a transformation, showcasing the iconic kangaroo design. This unique and captivating change significantly increased its global appeal, making it a coin worth considering for any investor.

The obverse features the reigning monarch, King Charles III, designed by Steven Rosati.

The reverse showcases a jumping kangaroo, Australia’s iconic marsupial, which varies yearly, enhancing its appeal to investors.

The Gold Kangaroo, a globally recognized coin, is prized for its high .9999 fine gold purity. Produced by the Perth Mint and backed by the Australian government, it has a face value of 100 Australian dollars, further enhancing its appeal to investors.

The Perth Mint uses several measures to ensure the quality of its products. These include state-of-the-art coin presses and rigorous quality control through a comprehensive inspection process conducted with the help of an LBMA-accredited laboratory. Additionally, the mint incorporates various anti-counterfeiting features, such as a micro-laser engraved letter that is part of the design.

The Gold Kangaroo has demonstrated strong performance in the bullion market. In 2013, the Perth Mint reported record-breaking sales of 111,505.06 troy ounces, a 534.43% increase from the previous year, indicating the coin’s growing popularity and potential for investment.

Gold Kangaroo coins are particularly popular in Asia-Pacific, leading to variations in liquidity by region. In North America, coins like the Gold Eagle may experience slightly higher liquidity. However, the Gold Kangaroo is still a strong buy because of its global recognition. For this reason, the Gold Kangaroo may offer lower premiums than other popular bullion coins, potentially making them more cost-effective for gold content.

Gold Kangaroo coins offer value comparable to other top gold coins. Choosing the coin as an investment depends on individual strategies, regional preferences, and specific portfolio needs.

Buying Australian Kangaroo gold coins

Gold Kangaroos are made of .9999 pure gold and are readily available in individual, hard, air-tight protective plastic capsules to prevent scratches. While the capsules provide excellent protection for Australian Kangaroo coins, they require approximately double the storage space compared to an equal number of Gold Eagles, Krugerrands, Maple Leafs, and Gold Philharmonics.

Gold Kangaroos come in various sizes, including larger than 1 oz coins, which provide different investment options for investors. The most popular and most readily available is the 1-oz coin. Investors looking for fractional-ounce gold coins should consider the Gold Eagle , the most popular fractional coin in the U.S.
