Gold Kilo 2019 Australian Kangaroo, Coin from Australia - detailed information

The Australian one kilo gold piece (abbreviated as 1 kg and designated with Au for "gold") is a bullion coin format. Uniquely, in Australia there are two mints authorised to strike legal tender: the Royal Australian Mint (which also makes the country's circulating coinage) and the Perth Mint which only makes collector and bullion coins, as well as other bullion products.

Both mints endeavour to create coins with attractive designs, and to introduce new designs and themes often, in order to raise the numismatic value of the coins over the value of previous metal used.

This massive one kilogram gold coin is part of the long-running Australian Kangaroo bullion coin series by the Perth Mint.

Originally known as the Gold Australian Nugget, the Bullion Kangaroo Coin is the one of the largest bullion coin program from the Perth Mint. The first 1 kg Australian Perth Mint Kangaroo Coin was released in 1991. Of the range of five 2019 Australian Kangaroo gold bullion coins, only the 1 kilo gold coin portrays the classic artistry of a bounding red kangaroo encircled by symbolic rays of sunshine.
