2023 1/10oz Gold Proof Royal Australian Mint Mob of Thirty

Description

When the Royal Australian Mint launched its Kangaroo Series in 1993, it made an audacious promise – a new design, every year, without exception. No shortcuts, no recycled imagery. That commitment built one of the world’s most respected annual coin programs. To mark three decades of that tradition, the Mint did something it had never done before: it went back to the beginning.

The Mob of Thirty reinstates the original 1993 reverse design by Horst Hahne – the German-born Australian sculptor and former Chief Engraver of the Royal Australian Mint – the very image that launched the series. Thirty years of artistic evolution, and this founding design still holds its own.

The Kangaroo Series is defined by change. A new design, every year – that’s the rule. Which is exactly what makes this release so compelling. For the first time in thirty years, the Mint looked backward. Returning to Hahne’s founding kangaroo is not a shortcut – it’s a deliberate tribute to the image strong enough to start it all.

The obverse adds a second layer of historical resonance. This coin carries Jody Clark’s memorial effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, inscribed “1952–2022” – placing it among the last Australian numismatic releases to honour her reign. Two milestones, one coin.

At a mintage of just 3,000 pieces worldwide, demand from the Kangaroo Series’ global collector base ensures this release will not linger.

Worldwide mintage: 3,000. Numbered Certificate of Authenticity included. Official Royal Australian Mint Mob of Thirty presentation packaging.
