2019 Australia 1 oz Gold Kangaroo BU

---

The Australian Gold Kangaroo series has a fascinating evolution, starting out in 1986 under a completely different theme. During its first few years, from 1986 to 1989, the reverse of these coins depicted famous gold nuggets. A major design shift occurred in 1989 when the Perth Mint introduced the iconic kangaroo, a beloved symbol of Australia's native wildlife, as the central theme. To keep the series dynamic, the reverse imagery changes every single year, making each annual release a unique artistic showcase. For the 2019 edition, the reverse features a single kangaroo positioned on a grassy mound, set against a backdrop of stylized trees and a radiant sun. This side of the coin also displays the 2019 year of issue, along with details confirming its weight of one troy ounce and its exceptional 0.9999 gold purity. These legal tender coins are backed by the Perth Mint and are produced in a variety of sizes ranging from 1/20 ounce all the way up to one kilogram. The obverse of this 100 dollar coin carries the Jody Clark depiction of Queen Elizabeth II. Alongside this royal portrait, the face value of 100 Dollars is clearly inscribed, completing a design that beautifully balances national identity, royal tradition, and natural beauty.
