2025 Australian one ounce Gold Kangaroo
The Kangaroo is an Australian one ounce gold coin, first minted in 1986 as the Gold Nugget. Since 1990 it has been known as the gold Kangaroo. One of the world’s most popular and recognizable gold coins, the Kangaroo contains one ounce of gold at .9999 purity (FOUR 9s).
2024 marked the debut of Kangaroos featuring King Charles III. Pictured on the obverse, His Majesty is depicted in a left facing profile, with the inscription CHARLES III * AUSTRALIA * 100 DOLLARS
The reverse features Australia’s official emblem, the kangaroo. Each year, the coin’s reverse is a different depiction of a kangaroo. How cool is that?!
Fun kangaroo facts:
– Despite being a “declared noxious animal” because of its reputation for damaging crops and fences and competing with domestic animals for resources, the kangaroo finally achieved official recognition with its inclusion on Australia’s coat of arms in 1908.
– The kangaroo is now popularly regarded as Australia’s official animal.
– Kangaroos belong to the Macropodidae family, meaning ‘big foot’ in Latin. Yes, here at Vault Wholesale, we have proof that bigfoot exists! You’re welcome.
