The gold coin Australian Kangaroo, also known as kangaroo or previously nugget, has been minted by the Perth Mint since 1986. In the early years of this series, no kangaroo was depicted on the coin, but the famous “Welcome stranger” gold nugget. For this reason, this coin was also called the gold nugget. Since 1990, the series has been continued with the annually changing image with at least one kangaroo on it. The kangaroo is often depicted in a recognizable Australian landscape, in nature, or with a rising sun in the background. Gold Kangaroo coins are supplied as standard in a protective capsule so that this coin always remains in good condition.
