On the reverse of the Royal Australian Mint Gold Kangaroo is the iconic Australian penny image. Featured on the circulation copper penny in Australia from 1938 to 1964, the original design included only a hopping kangaroo and the commonwealth star of Australia.
These modern 2017 1/10 oz Royal Australian Mint Gold Kangaroo coins feature not only the hopping kangaroo and commonwealth star, but also the leaves and nuts of the Tasmanian Blue Gum plant, as well as engravings of the nation of issue, year of issue, weight, purity, and metal content of the coin.
The obverse of all Royal Australian Mint Gold Kangaroo Coins features the right-profile portrait of Queen Elizabeth II. The mint uses the 1998 design from Ian Rank-Broadley, and features an inner ring of Her Majesty’s name, nation of issue, and the coin’s face value, with leaves and flowers from the Tasmanian Blue Gum framing the design.
The Royal Australian Mint is the official sovereign mint of Australia’s federal government. Founded in 1965 by the Currency Act of 1965, the mint was established in the federal capital city of Canberra.
