1986 to 2019 1oz Kangaroo/Nugget Gold Coins

Buy Australian Kangaroo and Nugget coins dating from 1986 to 2020. The Perth Mint’s Australian Gold Kangaroo is one of Australia’s most well-known and internationally recognised coins.

First minted in 1986, the Australian Gold Kangaroo coin officially goes by the name ‘Australian Gold Nugget.’ Why? Well, the first coin designs between 1986 - 1989 actually featured imagery of natural Australian gold nuggets.

In 1989, The Perth Mint released a proof edition of the Australian Gold Nugget featuring a more internationally recognised symbol of Australia, the Australian Kangaroo. The new coin’s design featured a bounding kangaroo surrounded by rays of sunlight.

One of the most unique qualities of the Australian Kangaroo coin is that their reverse designs change annually. The coin also features a unique two-toned frosted effect, a limited mintage and are sold presented in an acrylic plastic capsule. Unusual for bullion coins, these features make the Australian Gold Kangaroo popular among investors and collectors alike – some coin releases even have numismatic value beyond the value of the gold alone.

Australian Gold Nugget and Kangaroo Coins are struck from 99.99% pure gold.
