The Perth Mint was originally established in 1899. It was not until 1970 that the mint's authority was handed over from Britain to the Western Australian government. Originally known as Gold Nugget coins, the Gold Kangaroo Coins were minted for the first time in 1986 with the name change occurring in 1989. The Gold Kangaroo has remained one of the most important 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 2021 Gold Kangaroo displays an adult kangaroo up close in the Australian wilderness with two Waratah flowers behind the marsupial. Surrounding the image on the coin’s reverse are the words “AUSTRALIAN KANGAROO” along with “2021 1/2oz 9999 GOLD”. The “P” mintmark of the Perth Mint can also be seen on this face of the coin. The 2021 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 1⁄2 oz Gold Kangaroo's 9999 purity makes it an ideal option for gold bullion buyers, but the design and small mintage also makes this a perfect coin for collectors as well. You will get the lowest price online when purchasing from SD Bullion, so lock in your order at the current gold price.
