1/10 oz Gold Australian Kangaroo
(Nugget)
Bullion Coin


1986 - Present



Nugget to Kangaroo,
A Change in Design,
then Name

In 1986, when the Gold Nugget bullion coin was released, the reverse side of each individually sized coin had the design of a large gold nugget found in Australia.

The first three years of production for the 1/4 oz Gold Nugget Bullion coin's reverse side showed the design of the "Little Hero" gold nugget, discovered in Australia in 1890.

Then, in 1990, The Australian Nugget's reverse side of the coin was redesigned to feature the "Australian Kangaroo."


Oddly, even though the reverse side of the coin changed to a kangaroo in 1990, it wouldn't be until 2008 when the Perth Mint officially changed the name of the gold bullion coin from "The Australian Nugget" to "Australian Kangaroo."

Note: The reverse designs on the 1-kilo., 10oz., and 2oz. Gold Australian Nugget bullion coins had the same design as the 1-kilo. Gold Australian Kangaroo bullion coin does today, a Red Kangaroo.





Design of the
1/10 oz. Gold Australian Kangaroo
(Nugget) Bullion Coin



Obverse

2023 - 1/10-oz. Gold Kangaroo-OBV

The direction of the monarch's face is a subtle difference between the 2023 and 2024 Gold Australian Kangaroo bullion coin.

On the 2023 Australian Kangaroo, the late Queen Elizabeth II is facing the right, whereas the 2024 Australian Kangaroo portrays the new King of England, Charles III, as facing the left.

Switching the direction a monarch faces on British Commonwealth coinage is a tradition that dates back to the 17th century for the British Royal Family.

Note: Inscribed at the top of the 2023's Gold Australian Kangaroo's obverse side shows the the dates 1952-2022, which represents the duration of Queen Elizabeth II's reign.

2024 1/10 oz. Gold Australian Kangaroo - Obverse side

The obverse side of the 1/10th oz Gold Australian Kangaroo bullion coin portrays the profile of His Majesty, King Charles III, designed by David Thorne. 

Inscriptions:

  • CHARLES III
  • AUSTRALIA
  • •  15 DOLLARS  •  (face value)
  • DT - designer's initials under the King's profile

The edge of the gold bullion coin is reeded.

Reverse

2024 1/10 oz. Gold Australian Kangaroo - Reverse side

The reverse side of the Gold Australian Kangaroo bullion coin receives a new design each year; in 2024, the reverse side depicts an Australian Kangaroo jumping over a dry creek bed with a windmill connected to an elevated water storage tank in the background. 

Inscriptions:

  • KANGAROO
