1 troy ounce gold Kangaroo coins from various years

The gold Kangaroo coins are made in the highest possible gold content of 99.99% pure gold and weigh 1 troy ounce (31.103 grams). Since 1990, these coins have been issued by the renowned Australian mint The Perth Mint. Each year, the coin comes with a unique design in which a kangaroo - the iconic symbol of Australia - takes center stage. This makes the gold Kangaroo not only popular with investors because of the high gold content, but also with collectors because of the constantly changing designs.
 

From Australian Nugget to Australian Kangaroo

In the early years, this coin was known as the Australian Nugget. However, to increase its international appeal, the name was later changed to Australian Kangaroo. The kangaroo design was chosen because of its recognizability and strong connection with Australia, which allowed the coin to appeal to a wider audience worldwide. Today, the gold Kangaroo is one of the most popular investment coins in the world, loved for its quality, unique appearance and rich history.

Investing in gold coins

When investing in gold, you can choose between gold bars and gold coins. Gold investment coins, such as the Gold Kangaroo, are among the most popular options among investors. These coins are usually minted in 1 troy ounce of pure gold and are available at a relatively small premium over the current gold price, making them an attractive choice for both new and experienced investors.
 
Gold coins from previous years are often purchased from private individuals and are therefore more competitively priced than new coins that come directly from the mint. This results in a smaller spread – the difference between the purchase price and the current gold price – so you get more gold for your investment. Thanks to the high gold content, the VAT exemption and the smaller spread, the 1 troy ounce Gold Kangaroo coin remains a favorite among investors who value a cost-efficient and reliable investment.
