The Perth Mint changes the Kangaroo design every year, which is why this series draws collectors alongside investors. The 2025 issue holds one troy ounce of .9999 fine gold with a AUD $100 face value and government backing from Australia. Premiums stay close to those on the Maple Leaf and Britannia, so you pay bullion pricing for a coin with an annually rotating design and a mint that has been operating since 1899.
Key Features:
- Purity and Weight: 1 troy ounce (31.103 grams) of .9999 fine gold (99.99% pure)
- Metal Type: 24-karat gold, struck by the Perth Mint
- Obverse Design: Left-facing effigy of King Charles III
- Reverse Design: Two red kangaroos in an outback setting
The reverse carries this year’s scene. A large red kangaroo rests in the foreground, forelegs extended and head turned toward the viewer, with the fur across its shoulders and haunches picked out in fine incuse lines. A second, smaller kangaroo stands on a rise behind it, and a spinifex grass tuft sits at the left edge. KANGAROO runs in bold serif capitals across the top. 2025 1oz 9999 GOLD is inscribed vertically along the left rim, with the Perth Mint’s “P” mintmark in the right field and the designer’s initials below it.
The obverse shows King Charles III in left-facing profile, bareheaded, with the collar and lapel of his jacket rendered in clean relief. CHARLES III arcs along the left rim with AUSTRALIA across the top, and 100 DOLLARS runs along the bottom. Small designer initials sit at the base of the neck.
The coin measures approximately 32.1 mm across with a reeded edge. Each piece ships individually sealed in a protective capsule, which keeps the surfaces untouched and makes long-term storage straightforward. Brilliant Uncirculated strikes come off the dies bright and fully detailed.
Annual design changes mean a 2025 coin cannot be produced again once the year closes. Whether you hold it for the metal or the series, the gold content is the same either way and the design is not. Order yours today and we will ship it insured in discreet packaging.
