Gold Kangaroo Designs

As the series moniker suggests, the Australian Kangaroo is the motif stamped on the coins. These marsupials are indigenous to Australia, especially the Red Kangaroo.

Kangaroos became a national symbol in 1908 by inclusion in the country’s Coat of Arms, representing the nation’s fast development, always moving forward, like a kangaroo.

Besides an original depiction of the Kangaroo, the reverse side also features the series name “KANGAROO,” the year of mintage, weight, purity, and metal content information.

As previously announced, the 2024 issue underwent an update in its obverse design to showcase the rising monarch and leader of the British Commonwealth nations.

The new obverse depicts King Charles III’s effigy in a left-profile bust, surrounded by the inscriptions: “CHARLES III,” “AUSTRALIA,” and “50 DOLLARS.”

The Australian Perth Mint

Initially founded to be a local branch of the Royal Mint, the Perth Mint started operating in 1899 in Perth when the country was a British colony. With Australian independence, the mint came into the ownership of the Western Australian Government, which maintained its operations by making bullion coins to meet internal and international interests.
