Description:

The 2017 1-ounce Gold Kangaroo coin continues the well-loved series renowned for featuring Australia’s distinctive wildlife emblem. Originating in 1986, this series has gained popularity for its unique coin designs released each year, enhancing collectibility, and setting these coins apart from many other widely collected Gold sovereign coins.

Initially known as the Gold Nugget series minted by the Perth Mint from 1986, it showcased various Gold Nugget designs until 1989. In that year, the imagery shifted to the iconic kangaroo, more aptly symbolizing Australia.

In Brilliant Uncirculated (BU) condition, these coins exhibit no apparent signs of wear, although minor imperfections like breaks in luster, spotted surfaces, or contact marks from the coining process may be present. Each coin features Queen Elizabeth II’s profile on the obverse, utilizing a right-profile design created by Ian Rank-Broadley in 1998, a tradition upheld on Australian coinage annually. The reverse of the 2017 1-ounce Australian Gold Kangaroo Coin depicts a kangaroo in mid-hop across the vast Outback landscape.
