The Australian Gold Kangaroo Series began at Australia’s Perth Mint in 1986 as the Australian Gold Nugget. In 1990, the program shifted to the kangaroo theme and has featured a fresh kangaroo design each year since. For 2026, the series marks 40 years with a special anniversary privy on the coins. Right now, 2026 1/10 oz Australian Gold Kangaroo Coins are available at BullionMax.

Kangaroos are central to Australia’s ecosystems as grazers and as prey animals. Their feeding helps shape plant growth, while their movement spreads seeds across wide areas. As an important prey species for dingoes—and historically for thylacines—kangaroos support natural food chains. Their ability to get by on little water and their efficient digestion make them well-suited to life in Australia’s dry regions.

The obverse of the 2026 Australian Gold Kangaroo features Dan Thorne’s official portrait of King Charles III. Shown in left-profile without a crown, this is the first standard effigy of the King used on Australian coinage.

The reverse of the 2026 1/10 oz Gold Kangaroo shows two kangaroos bounding through a shallow pool, sending ripples across the surface. The scene highlights the kangaroo’s distinctive, energy-saving hop developed over countless generations.
