Perth Mint
Founded in 1899 in Perth, Australia. The Perth Mint holds the world record to mint the biggest gold coin with 1012 kg. Globally loved by investors for their high quality and wide range of investment and collectors coins.
The Gold Kangaroo is the the official gold bullion coin of Australia. The series was introduced in 1986 as the “Australian Nugget” gold coin. From 1986 to 1989 the design depicted “Gold Nuggets” as the main motif. In 1990 the design was changed to feature the Kangaroo, which was deemed as a more recognized symbol for Australia.
The Kangaroo Gold coin is one of the few legal tender gold coins that feature annual design changes. However, the main motif will always depict one or more Kangaroos in the natural environment.
