Gold Australian Kangaroo coins feature a new image each year depicting the kangaroo species. In total, there are four different kangaroo species in Australia: red kangaroo, antilopine kangaroo, eastern grey kangaroo, and western grey kangaroo. The red kangaroo features in this beloved gold bullion coin series, and is the largest marsupial in the species.
On the obverse side of all 2018 1 oz Gold Australian Kangaroo Coins you’ll find the image of Queen Elizabeth II. The effigy of the Queen is featured on all Australian coinage annually, from bullion releases to circulation currency. This is the fourth-generation image of the Queen created in 1998 by Ian Rank-Broadley.
The reverse of all Gold Australian Kangaroo Coins features an image of two red kangaroos. In this year’s design, the pair are depicted as they hop across the rural settings of the Australian Outback. Engravings include “Australian Kangaroo,” “2018,” and “1 oz 9999 Gold.”
2018 1 oz Gold Australian Kangaroo Coins are the only weight offered this year that have an unlimited mintage figure. As such, the Perth Mint will continue coining the 2018 1 oz gold coin to meet investor demand until December 2018, the end of the calendar year of issue featured on the coins.
Perth Mint is not the official sovereign mint of Australia, a title held by the Royal Australian Mint in Canberra. Rather, it is the oldest operating facility in the country and formerly part of the Royal Mint system during British colonial control. Since 1970, the mint has been owned by the state government of Western Australia.
