Issued as Australian legal tender, each coin in the program is meticulously struck by The Perth Mint from 99.99% pure gold.

DESIGN

Pictured in their natural habit, it includes a native Xanthorrhoea australis or more commonly known grass tree. The design incorporates the inscription ‘KANGAROO’, The Perth Mint’s traditional ‘P’ mintmark, the 2025 year-date and the coin’s weight and purity.

Each small gold coin design also incorporates the inscription ‘KANGAROO’, while the 1 kilo coin features the inscription ‘AUSTRALIAN KANGAROO’.

The obverse of each coin bears the Dan Thorne effigy of His Majesty King Charles III, and the monetary denomination.
