2024 1/10 oz Australian Gold Kangaroo Coin (BU in Capsule)

The Australian Gold Kangaroo is one of the most consistently collected bullion coins in the world, produced annually by the Perth Mint since 1989. Its hallmarks are well established: .9999 fine gold, a refreshed kangaroo design each year, and the reliability of a sovereign mint with a global reputation. The 1/10 oz denomination makes it one of the more accessible entry points into Australian gold, combining recognized purity with a fractional price point.

Key Features:

• Gold Content & Purity: 1/10 troy oz of .9999 fine gold (24-karat)
• Face Value: $15 AUD, legal tender of Australia
• Obverse Design: A kangaroo standing on rocky terrain with a windmill and water tank in the background; inscribed “KANGAROO,” “2024,” “1/10 oz 9999 GOLD,” and mint mark “P125”
• Reverse Design: Left-facing effigy of King Charles III in his first appearance on the Gold Kangaroo series; inscribed “CHARLES III,” “AUSTRALIA,” and “15 DOLLARS”
• Condition: Brilliant Uncirculated, individually encapsulated

The obverse presents a single kangaroo in a naturalistic outback setting — posed mid-stride on broken rocky ground, head raised and alert. The musculature and fur texture are rendered with fine engraving detail, giving the figure depth against the coin’s warm gold field. To the left, a traditional windmill and water tank appear in the background, grounding the composition in the Australian pastoral landscape that has long defined the series’ visual identity. The year, weight, and purity are inscribed along the left arc, with the Perth Mint’s “P125” privy mark visible at lower right.

The reverse introduces King Charles III to the Gold Kangaroo series for the first time, replacing the long-running Queen Elizabeth II portrait carried on earlier issues. His effigy faces left in profile, with hair, collar, and facial structure cleanly struck against a smooth field. “CHARLES III” and “AUSTRALIA” arc across the upper border, with the face value “15 DOLLARS” inscribed below. For collectors who follow the series year to year, this transition makes the 2024 issue a natural landmark coin.

The Perth Mint strikes the Gold Kangaroo in .9999 fine gold — a higher purity standard than many competing sovereign coins. Each 2024 issue ships individually in a protective capsule, preserving the coin’s Brilliant Uncirculated surfaces. The 1/10 oz size measures 16.1 mm in diameter.

The 2024 Gold Kangaroo pairs one of bullion’s most recognized annual designs with a historically notable portrait change. Add it to your cart today and secure this first-year Charles III issue before stock runs out.
