Australia has been minting gold kangaroo coins since 1986 (although at first, they called them “gold nuggets”). The entire series was renamed the Australian gold kangaroo in 1990. This makes sense, because these 1 oz gold coins (along with their fractions-of-an-ounce baby brothers) receive a new kangaroo-themed reverse design every year. For 2022, the 1 oz Australian kangaroo features a pair of Australia’s native red kangaroos, a mother and joey, bounding across the Outback. 

Here’s what Perth Mint has to say about the 2022 Australian kangaroo design:

No wildlife symbol more powerfully equates with Australia than our beloved kangaroo. In 2022, the marsupial famed for the way it bounds on elongated hind legs, is portrayed with its joey bounding across a flat, grassy plain with hillocks on the horizon… Skipping over scorched red dirt and spinifex, or seeking shade in sweet-scented eucalypt forest, the kangaroo is as unique as the ancient landscapes it symbolises… The Australian Kangaroo 2022 1oz gold bullion coin portrays a kangaroo and its joey bounding across a flat, grassy plain with hillocks on the horizon.

As you’d expect, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II appears on the obverse of these 2022 1 oz Australian gold kangaroo coins. This is the Jody Clark 2015 portrait created for the Royal Mint of England, showing the Queen in right-profile wearing her uncle George IV’s state diadem crown.

With an uncapped mintage, four-nine fine gold, and a great design of the beloved Australian red kangaroo, 2022’s issue of the kangaroo gold coin is sure to become a new favorite. Get yours today!

About the Australian gold kangaroo series

Every year since 1990, gold kangaroo coins from Perth Mint have been available to bullion buyers worldwide in the current format. Each year, Perth Mint changes up the design and the style of the kangaroo(s) featured on the reverse of the 1 oz and fractional gold kangaroo coins (1/2 oz, 1/4 oz and 1/10 oz). They also mint a humongous 1 kg gold kangaroo variation, but this one uses the classic Stuart Devlin-designed kangaroo surrounded by rays of sun.

The 2022 installment of the Australian gold kangaroo series includes variable mintages. Both the 1 oz gold kangaroo featured here and the 1 kg super-kangaroo have an unlimited mintage, while 2022’s fractional gold kangaroos all have fixed mintage limits.
