Sought by collectors, investors, and wildlife enthusiasts worldwide, the Australian Kangaroo Gold coin is one of the Perth Mints most collected coins.

Obverse

The profile of Queen Elizabeth II that appears on the obverse of the 2012 Australian Kangaroo Gold coin was created by Ian Rank-Broadley and introduced in 1998. This is the fourth effigy of Her Majesty. Each new effigy portrays a more mature version of the Queen. Rank-Broadleys initials are at the base of the Queens neck. Inscriptions included are ELIZABETH II, AUSTRALIA, and 100 DOLLARS.

Reverse

The kangaroo that appears on the reverse of the 2012 Australian Kangaroo Gold coin is standing alone. Behind him, in the background, is a windmill and a bush scene. Since a kangaroo is more widely associated with Australia than a gold nugget, the coin was switched from the Australian Nugget Gold to the Australian Kangaroo Gold in 1990. The kangaroo design is modified each year. The P mint mark is included on the reverse. Inscriptions included are AUSTRALIAN KANGAROO and 2012 1 OZ 9999 GOLD.

History

The Perth Mint opened in 1899. It remained under the authority of Great Britain until 1970, when it fell under the authority of the Government of Western Australia. The Gold Corporation Act of 1987 brought about changes to the Mint, empowering the Mint to produce and market gold, silver, and platinum legal tender coinage. Prime Minister Bob Hawke then launched the Australian Nugget Gold Coin series.
