Story

The history of the "Australian Kangaroo" goes back to 1986. Given the import ban of the South African Krugerrands in 1986, the Royal Perth Mint decided to launch its own gold coin.

 

The first designs in 1986 featured famous nuggets found on the Australian continent. In 1989, the series received a new design, which presented the kangaroo as the main motif. The kangaroo was considered a world recognizable symbol of Australia. This was not only a stroke of luck, but a very well planned marketing campaign. Animal designs are much more emotional, and therefore, investors are more inclined to choose them.

 

Because of the history of the Australian gold rush, the name "nugget" had been retained, even though the new design was introduced. From 1989 to 2007, the image of the kangaroo appeared on the coin with the name "THE AUSTRALIAN NUGGET" imprinted above the motif.

 

In 2008, the name "Nugget" was removed and renamed "AUSTRALIAN KANGAROO". Nevertheless, the "Nugget" has impressed so many investors worldwide that the gold coin series is still sometimes referred to by this name.

 

The design of the Australian Kangaroo gold coin changes annually, but will always feature one or more kangaroos in their natural environment.
