Gold Tenth-Ounce 2024 Australian Kangaroo, Coin from Australia - detailed information

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.

The first coins in this format were issued by the Perth Mint in what was then called the Australian Nugget series - named after the natural gold nuggets featured on the reverse. However, the series soon started featuring kangaroos instead, and was eventually renamed to Australian Kangaroo.

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

The mint says about it:
A prestigious gold bullion coin series with a tradition dating back to the 1980s, the annual Australian Kangaroo includes a popular 1oz coin which in 2024 features an exceptional design that investors will eye as a new classic.

The kangaroo is synonymous with Australia. Millions inhabit this wide brown land, from the arid interior to bushland, parks and other open spaces fringing our cities. With a superb new artistic impression each year, the Australian Kangaroo Gold Bullion Coin Series celebrates Australia’s most famous marsupial.
