Story

Stunning red kangaroo

The Perth Mint's red kangaroo design was introduced as part of the Australian Nugget gold coin program as the new theme for the 1989 Proof Issue. The artistry was designed by Dr Stuart Devlin AO CMG, goldsmith and jeweller to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.

Pink diamond design

The coin’s reverse portrays a bounding red kangaroo surrounded by stylised rays of sunlight.  The kangaroo is holding a beautiful Argyle Pink Diamond™ between its front paws. The design also includes the inscription AUSTRALIAN KANGAROO 2017 2oz 9999 GOLD year date and The Perth Mint’s ‘P’ mintmark.
