One Ounce Australia Gold Kangaroo

First introduced in 1986, the 1oz Australian Kangaroo is minted by Perth Mint. Often referred to as the Nugget, the Kangaroo initially featured an image of a gold nugget on its reverse and was changed to a kangaroo three years later. The design has been rotated every year since. The coin’s obverse features a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II designed by either Raphael Maklouf, Ian Rank-Broadley or Jody Clark; depending on the year of mint.
