Beloved the world over, our signature coin series celebrates one of Australia’s most emblematic native animals, the Australian Kangaroo. The coin’s high relief reverse portrays a coloured representation of two kangaroos leaping across the water. The background features water ripples and splashes with a mountain landscape in the distance. A privy mark with the number 40, pays tribute to the 40th anniversary of the Australian Nugget, the first official Australian legal tender gold coin series. Included within the design is the inscription ‘KANGAROO’ and The Perth Mint’s ‘P’ mintmark, along with the coin’s weight, purity and 2026 year-date.        

The coin’s high relief reverse and obverse are minted on concave surfaces to ensure the optimum flow of metal is achieved by the strike of the die.
