Frequently Asked Questions

When did The Perth Mint Australian Kangaroo Gold Coin series begin?

The story of the Australian Kangaroo Gold Coin begins in 1986, when The Perth Mint introduced the Australian Nugget gold bullion coin series. The earliest coins featured famous Australian gold nuggets, reflecting the country's rich gold-mining history.

The series later shifted its focus to the kangaroo, an animal more immediately associated with Australia around the world. Since then, changing kangaroo artwork has become a defining feature of the series, with a new interpretation of Australia's most famous marsupial appearing on each annual release.

What is special about the 2024 Australian Kangaroo Gold Coin?

The 2024 release commemorates The Perth Mint's 125th anniversary. Its reverse includes the special P125 mintmark, recognising the Mint's establishment in 1899. The 2024 coin is also the first Australian Kangaroo bullion release to feature the Dan Thorne effigy of King Charles III, making it a distinctive year within the long-running series.

Does the 2024 1oz Kangaroo Gold Coin have a security feature?

Yes. The reverse incorporates a micro-laser engraved letter within the design. The tiny detail is only detectable under magnification and was incorporated by The Perth Mint as an authentication feature designed to make the coin more difficult to counterfeit.
