KANGAROO GOLD COIN 2026

The Gold Kangaroo series was originally the Gold Nugget series minted by the Perth Mint, beginning in 1986. The reverse images featured various Gold Nuggets from 1986 to 1989, until the design was changed in 1989 to feature the kangaroo, which was more symbolic of Australia. These coins have legal tender status in Australia and the designs of these beautiful coins change each year, differentiating them from many other popular Gold sovereign coins. The two unique features: a "two-tone" frosted design effect, and individual hard plastic encapsulation of each coin began from 1987 until today. All 1 oz Gold Kangaroos minted since 2018 onwards have micro-laser engraved letter on the reverse for authentication which can only be seen by magnifying glass. The exact placement of the micro-engraving can vary by year, adding another layer of complexity for counterfeiters. These features were unusual for a standard bullion coin and gave the Nugget a unique market niche.
