The Perth Mint was originally established 1899 as a branch of the British Royal Mint. It wasn’t until 1970 that jurisdiction of the mint was turned over to the government of Western Australia. The Gold Kangaroo Coins were originally known as Gold Nugget coins, but the Perth Mint changed the name in 1989 to the current Kangaroo line, and has remained one of the most popular coin series’ among collectors and investors alike.
The obverse of the ½ oz gold kangaroo features the side profile of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. The profile was designed by Jody Clark, as denoted by the initials “JC” inscribed on the Queen’s shoulder. Around the border are the words “ELIZABETH II AUSTRALIA” along with the monetary denomination of “50 DOLLARS”.
The reverse of this ½ oz gold coin features a new design showing an adult kangaroo standing next to a joey on the plains of the Australian Outback, flanked on either side by a pair of grass trees, a species native to Australia. Inscribed around the edge of the coin are the words “AUSTRALIAN KANGAROO” and beneath the image “2020 1/2oz 9999 GOLD”. The 2020 Gold Kangaroo also features a unique security feature where a small letter is micro-laser engraved into the “AUSTRALIAN KANGAROO” inscription. This authentication feature is only visible under magnification.
The 9999 purity of the ½ oz Gold Kangaroo makes it an excellent choice for investors of gold bullion, but the new 2020 design and limited mintage also makes this a great coin to add to any collection.
