Welcome to KangarooCoins.com, site dedicated to Australian Kangaroo coins.

1987 was the year that the Nugget series of bullion coins now featuring the Australian Gold Kangaroo was introduced. The coins are Australian legal tender and are made from .9999 pure gold. Its appeal to investors and collectors around the world can be found in two distinct characteristic of the coin, setting it apart from other coins. The first is in the coin¡¯s design, which produces a two-toned frosted effect, and the second is the thoughtful packaging, whereby each coin is individually enclosed in a hard plastic cover.

Gold Kangaroos have become a favourite for many as the kangaroo is identified globally as a symbol of Australia. However the coin¡¯s beginning did not feature the kangaroo. In fact, in the beginning the back of the coin featured an Australian gold nugget, which obviously did not have the same resonance as the kangaroo. So in 1989 the back design was changed to what is now the well-known Australian kangaroo. The detailed design of this marsupial as found on the back of the gold bullion coin is the only major legal tender of its kind that changes every year.
