2026 1 oz Gold Kangaroo Coin
Introduced in 1987 by Gold Corp., a wholly owned entity of the Government of Western Australia, the Gold Nugget series was the country’s first official legal tender gold coin program. The series later evolved into the Gold Kangaroo, reflecting Australia’s most iconic animal. Today, the Gold Kangaroo is available not only in the 1 oz Brilliant Uncirculated coin but also in fractional sizes and large-format 1 kilo coins, appealing to both investors and collectors worldwide.
Gold Kangaroo Design
Each year, The Perth Mint introduces a new design on its 1 oz and fractional Gold Kangaroo coins, highlighting the beauty of Australia’s national symbol. The 1 kilo Gold Kangaroo retains the classic red kangaroo design, maintaining a sense of continuity within the series.

Founded in 1899, The Perth Mint is Australia’s oldest and most respected operating mint. Renowned globally for exceptional purity and artistry, it produces some of the most prestigious bullion and collectible programs, including the Gold and Silver Kangaroo, Swan, Koala, Kookaburra, and Lunar series. Each coin reflects the Mint’s long-standing commitment to excellence in design and craftsmanship.
