Homepage / Bullion Coins: Australian Coins / 2 oz. Australian Kangaroo Gold
Updated on 03/30/2024
In 1986, following the successful release of the 1oz and the fractional-sized Australian Gold Nugget bullion coins, in 1991, the Perth Mint added three more gold coins to the series: the 2oz., 10oz., and 1 kilogram gold bullion coins.
In 2009, the Perth Mint discontinued the 2oz and 10oz Gold Nugget bullion coins (now known as the Gold Kangaroo); however, the Perth Mint continues to mint the 1-kilo gold bullion coin to this day.
Obverse
The obverse side displays the profile of Queen Elizabeth II designed by Ian Rank-Broadley.
Inscriptions:
Note: The first year of the 2 oz gold bullion coin, it had a face value of "500 DOLLARS;" in 1992, the Perth Mint changed the 2 oz coin's face value to "200 DOLLARS."
Reverse
The centerpiece of the reverse side of the 2005 Australian Gold Nugget is the "Red Kangaroo, surrounded by rays of light."
Inscription:
The edge of the gold bullion coin is reeded.
