The 2019 Australian Kangaroo series of 99.99% pure gold bullion coins is available for purchase from today.
A new rendition of Australia's most potent animal symbol appears on the 1oz, 1/2oz, 1/4oz and 1/10oz releases, while the 1 kilo release features our classic 'red' kangaroo design.
Each coin is issued as Australian legal tender, which is signified for the first time by the new Jody Clark effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II on its obverse.
The sixth portrait of the current monarch to appear on Australian coins since 1952 shows the Queen wearing the Royal Diamond Diadem, recalling the Raphael Maklouf portrayal adopted in 1985.
This year's investor Kangaroos also include a security feature in the form a micro laser-engraved letter 'A' concealed within the reverse inscription. Only visible through a magnifying glass, this design innovation is intended to make counterfeiting extremely difficult.
The Perth Mint has manufactured Australia's premier gold bullion coins for discerning investors for more than three decades.
Recognised for their unsurpassed quality and outstanding value, iconic Australian Kangaroos are sought worldwide for their fresh annual designs and the complete assurance offered through the Mint's explicitly-stated government guarantee.
