The History of the Australian Kangaroo Coin
In 1986 the Commonwealth Government appointed The Perth Mint to design, make and market Australia’s official precious metal bullion coin programme. The coins are issued as Australian legal tender and sold to investors worldwide. The Australian Nugget established the Mint’s modern day reputation as a manufacturer of high-quality precious metal coins for investors and collectors.
From 1986 to 1989, the reverse of these coins pictured various Australian gold nuggets. Since then the design has always been of a Kangaroo.
