Gold Tenth-Ounce 2024 Kangaroo - Desert Life, Coin from Australia
CoinGold Tenth-Ounce 2024 Kangaroo - Desert Life

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.

This coin is part of the 31st release in the Royal Australian Mint's Kangaroo series featuring a new design every year. The theme for 202 is Desert Life, celebrating the iconic Red Kangaroo and its home in Australia's arid red centre.
