A Fresh One-Year-Only Design

Each year, the Australian Gold Kangaroo series unveils a unique reverse design, and the 2024 edition is no exception. This year’s artwork features an adult kangaroo poised to leap gracefully across a dry creek bed, with a windmill and water storage tank in the background — iconic symbols of rural Australia’s resilience and self-sufficiency. Look closely and you’ll also notice the special “P125” mintmark, marking the 125th anniversary of the Perth Mint, a remarkable milestone for one of the world’s most respected mints.

Adding to the coin’s allure is a cutting-edge micro-laser engraved security feature — a tiny letter hidden within the design, visible only under magnification, enhancing the coin’s authenticity and security.

Updated Obverse: Honoring a New Monarch

For the first time, the obverse of the 2024 Gold Kangaroo Proof features the effigy of King Charles III, designed by artist Dan Thorne, replacing the familiar portrait of Queen Elizabeth II following her passing in 2022. This portrait change marks a significant transition in modern Commonwealth coinage and adds historical weight to this year’s release, making it particularly meaningful for collectors tracking royal numismatic shifts.
