The Kangaroo series is one of the world’s favorite coin series, prized for the beautiful depiction of Australia’s most recognizable wildlife species. It is all the more desirable, particularly for collectors, due to the fact that its design has changed each year since its introduction in 1989. It also stands as a safe and solid investment, issued with a legal tender value of $100 AUD and made of 1 troy ounce of .9999 pure gold, guaranteed by the Perth Mint.

The back of the coin earns first look, with its new depiction of the iconic kangaroo bounding across the Australian outback, a big sky and spiky vegetation in the background.  The “P” (for Perth) mint mark is nestled into the area above the animal’s curved tail. The artwork is ringed by the words “AUSTRALIAN KANGAROO” over top, and the year, weight and purity below. The face of the coin features the profile effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, around which is engraved the names of the sovereign and the nation of which she is the figurehead leader, as well as the 100 dollar denomination.
This is a beautiful gold coin, which can be shipped to you in its protective acrylic capsule.
