Australian 1/4 oz.
Gold Kangaroo (Nugget)

Bullion Coin

1987 - Present


The Australian Gold Kangaroo (Nugget) bullion coin is one of the Perth Mint's most popular coins.

When the Gold Nugget / Kangaroo bullion coin was originally released in 1987, the reverse side of each individually sized coin had a design to itself of a Gold Nugget found in Australia.

For instance, the first three years that the 1/4 oz. Gold Nugget Bullion coin was minted, the reverse side had the design of the "Golden Eagle" nugget, found in 1931.






Change in Design,
then Name

In 1990, the design on the reverse side of the gold bullion coin changed to the "Australian Kangaroo."

In addition, unlike the 1 kilo. bullion coin, each year the 1oz. and fractionally sized gold bullion coins receive a new design of a Kangaroo.

Ultimately, in 2008, the Perth Mint changed the bullion coin's name from "The Australian Nugget" to the "Australian Kangaroo."

Due to the gold bullion coin's proof-like finish and its limited mintage figures, this bullion coin has the potential to appreciate beyond the value of its gold content.







Design of the
 Australian 1/4 oz. Gold Kangaroo Bullion Coin



Obverse

The obverse side of the Australian Gold Kangaroo (Nugget) bullion coin has the profile of her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, designed Jody Clark, his initials "JC" can be found on the Queen's shoulder.

"ELIZABETH II" is inscribed along the outer perimeter of the gold bullion coin.

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

"KANGAROO" is inscribed across the top of the gold bullion coin.

2023 - 1/4oz. Gold Kangaroo-REV

Displayed around the perimeter of the Australian Gold Kangaroo bullion coin is its Year of Issue, Weight of "1/4OZ," and the coin's purity of "9999 GOLD."

The obverse side of the Australian Gold Kangaroo bullion coin has the Mint Mark of "P" representing the Perth Mint.

The edge of the gold bullion coin is Reeded.

The reverse side of the Gold Kangaroo bullion coin receives a new design each year.

Note: The Australian Gold Kangaroo bullion coins are sometimes mistaken for The Australian Lunar Gold Bullion coins.

Both coins are minted by The Perth Mint and have .9999 purity, but Lunar bullion coin uses images of different animals from the Chinese calendar each year instead of the kangaroo.
