2026 1/4oz Perth Mint Gold Kangaroo Coin

Description

Marking 40 years of Australia’s legendary gold coin tradition, the 2026 Australian Kangaroo 1/4oz Gold Coin is a finely crafted tribute to the nation’s most iconic animal. Struck from 0.25 troy ounces of 99.99% pure gold, this coin brings the energy and elegance of the kangaroo to life, capturing two of these remarkable creatures in mid-leap over sparkling waters. Subtle ripples and a distant mountain horizon lend a sense of movement and depth, reflecting the beauty and vastness of the Australian landscape. The small ‘40’ privy mark celebrates the anniversary of the Australian Nugget series, linking this coin to a four-decade legacy of excellence.

The reverse bears the inscription ‘KANGAROO’, along with the 2026 year-date, weight, purity, and The Perth Mint’s distinctive ‘P’ mintmark, while the obverse features Dan Thorne’s effigy of His Majesty King Charles III and the monetary denomination of AUD 25, confirming its status as legal tender.

With a mintage limited to 150,000 coins, the 1/4oz coin is both highly collectable and an accessible entry point for investors. Each coin is encased individually in a protective capsule, ensuring it remains in pristine condition. Whether added to a growing collection or acquired as a standalone piece, this coin celebrates Australia’s natural heritage and The Perth Mint’s artistry, offering a small but powerful piece of gold bullion that is as beautiful as it is valuable.
