Product details
The Australian Kangaroo (Australian Nugget) is an Australian gold coin that was first minted by the Perth Mint in 1986 and has gained worldwide popularity, particularly due to its annually changing designs on the reverse side. The coin has a purity of 999.9 and is considered legal tender. Since 1987, the gold coin has been minted in denominations of 1/20 ounce, 1/10 ounce, 1/4 ounce, 1/2 ounce, and 1 ounce, with face values ranging from 5 to 100 Australian dollars. However, larger denominations are now also available, weighing 2 ounces, 10 ounces, and 1 kilogram. In 2010, a 2-dollar version of the coin weighing 0.5 grams was issued. In 2011, the Perth Mint introduced a version of the coin weighing 1 ton, making the gold kangaroo both the smallest and largest investment coin in the world.
Now discover the charming Mini Roo gold coin from the Perth Mint! This tiny yet exquisite coin made of 0.5 grams of pure gold (999.9) is a true eye-catcher and an ideal gift for special occasions. Each year, a new, lovingly designed kangaroo motif adorns the coin, making it a coveted collector's item.

The reverse side of the coin features a large kangaroo lying on its side, basking in the warm sunlight on Australia's dry ground. The design is surrounded by the inscriptions "Kangaroo," the minting year "2025," and the mint mark "P" of the Perth Mint. Additionally, the fine weight and purity "0.5g 9999 Gold" are displayed. The obverse side of the coin shows the portrait of King Charles III. Surrounding the portrait are the inscriptions "Charles III" and the country of origin "Australia." Below the portrait, the face value "2 Dollars" is also depicted.
