Story

Iconic kangaroo

Australia's most recognised animal symbol, the kangaroo has been regularly portrayed on Australian coins, tokens and medallions since the 1850s. Honouring the historic precedent, The Perth Mint began crafting outstanding gold coins featuring annual designs of the famous marsupial in 1989.

2023 Australian Kangaroo design

The coin portrays a kangaroo looking over its shoulder with a eucalyptus tree and grass trees in the background. As well as the inscription ‘KANGAROO’, the design incorporates The Perth Mint’s ‘P’ mintmark.
