Since 1986, the Perth Mint has issued a gold bullion coin program on an annual basis that is now known as the Australian Gold Kangaroo. Though it debuted as the Australian Gold Nugget, the series made the change to the Gold Kangaroo in 1990 in honor of the nation’s native flora and fauna. Today, 2011 1 oz Australian Gold Kangaroo Coins are available to you online at JM Bullion.

Kangaroos are members of the marsupial family, which means they carry their young in a pouch. After birth, the tiny joey crawls into its mother’s pouch and attaches itself to a teat, where it stays for several months until it is fully developed.

All of these 2011 1 oz Australian Gold Kangaroo Coins are available to you in plastic capsules. The mintage of 190,681 coins in 2011 was an increased year-over-year compared to 2010, with demand rising by nearly 40,000 coins.

On the obverse of 2011 Australian Gold Kangaroo Coins, you will find a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II. Her Majesty is shown here in right-profile relief in the 1998 fourth-generation portrait from Ian Rank-Broadley. This effigy includes the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland Tiara on her head.

The reverse side of 2011 1 oz Gold Kangaroo Coins comes with the unique design of the kangaroo for 2011. In this design, a kangaroo is shown in the foreground seated on its hind legs with a stylized sun on the horizon in the background.
