Gold Tenth-Ounce 2022 Kangaroo - Impressions of Australia, Coin from Australia
CoinGold Tenth-Ounce 2022 Kangaroo - Impressions of Australia

The Australian tenth-ounce gold piece (abbreviated as 1/10 oz 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.

The Mint says about this coin:
The Royal Australian Mint has immortalised Australia’s most Iconic animal as part of it’s ongoing "Kangaroo Series", now in its twenty ninth year.

This 2022 $10 Gold Proof Coin features a glorious kangaroo design that pays homage to the great Australian Impressionists. An informal and evocative style evokes the play of light and shadows unique to Australia’s flora and fauna.

Obverse
Australia / Gold Tenth-Ounce 2022 Kangaroo - Impressions of Australia - obverse photo

The obverse of the coin depicts the crowned old bust of Queen Elizabeth II facing right, wearing the Royal Diamond Diadem crown worn for her Coronation (effigy known as the "Fifth Portrait" worldwide but "Sixth Portrait" in Australia, where the Queen's portrait by Vladimir Gottwald was fifth).

The Queen also wears the Coronation Necklace; originally made for Queen Victoria in 1858, it was also worn at the coronations (as Queen's Consort) of Queen Alexandra in 1902, Queen Mary in 1911 and Queen Elizabeth (the Queen mother) in 1937.

Unlike on British coinage, the effigy is "uncouped" (includes the Queen's shoulders). In small letters on the left, the artist's initials JC (for Jody Clark).

Running continuously around the rim is the monarch's legend, the date of issue and the face value: ELIZABETH II · AUSTRALIA 2022 · 10 DOLLARS ·.

Reverse

The reverse of the coin depicts a kangaroo in a stylsed landscape of rocks and trees, with the sun in the background.

The designer's initials AS (for Aleksandra Stokic) are below right, on a rock above the kangaroo's tail.

Around below left, the precious metal content: 1/10 oz .9999 Au (one tenth of a troy ounce of 99.99% gold).
