Australian Coins
Gold Kangaroos
The Gold Australian Kangaroo coin series, minted by the Perth Mint, continues to be a popular coin for collectors. The series began in 1987 and currently features the most recognizable symbol of Australia—the kangaroo. Each coin contains .9999 fine gold and is one of the few legal tender coins that changes design every year.
The coins are available in a variety of sizes, from 1/20 ounce to a kilo; however, we recommend the 1 ounce variety. Call for availability and pricing.

2023 One-Ounce Silver Kookaburra
The silver kookaburra is the longest-running silver for sale among the Perth mints annual coin collections and was first introduced in 1990. Each coin’s reverse portrays two birds perched on branches of the waratah, one of Australia's most spectacular flowering plants. All coin designs incorporate the inscription "KOOKABURRA," The Perth Mint’s traditional "P" mintmark, the year, weight, and purity. The obverse of each coin bears the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and the monetary denomination. Following Her Majesty’s passing in September 2022, mints around the Commonwealth are moving to replace the Queen’s effigy with a new portrait of King Charles III. The 2023 Silver Kookaburra will be the last with Her Majesty’s portrait.
Each coin’s reverse includes a security feature in the form of a micro-laser engraved letter within the coin’s design. It is only detectable under a magnifying glass. Call for availability and pricing.
