2024 Australian Kangaroo 1/2oz .9999 Gold Bullion Coin

An iconic product of The Perth Mint, the gold Australian kangaroo bullion coins are a striking tribute to Australia’s most recognisable animal.

Issued as Australian legal tender, each coin in the program is meticulously struck by The Perth Mint from 99.99% pure gold. With coins from as small as 1/10oz ranging up to an impressive 1 kilo, the program provides outstanding convenience for all gold bullion coin buyers.

No more than 100,000 1/2oz coins will be produced.

DESIGN

The reverse of each small gold coin portrays a large kangaroo about to jump over a parched creek bed. The exceptional art includes a windmill and water storage tank, vital infrastructure on rural properties across the country. As well as coin’s weight and fineness, the 2024 year-date, the design includes a ‘P125’ mintmark, signifying The Perth Mint’s 125th anniversary.

Each gold coin design also incorporates the inscription ‘KANGAROO’.

The obverse of each coin bears the Dan Thorne effigy of His Majesty King Charles III, and the monetary denomination.

PRESENTATION

Each bullion coin is presented in a protective acrylic capsule.
