Each of the 2020 1 oz Australian Gold Kangaroo Coins in this JM Bullion listing comes individually sealed inside of a secure MintID certificate card. The coin available in this card is in Brilliant Uncirculated condition. The MintID certificate card includes an encrypted NFC microchip inside.
These encrypted microchips use AES-128 bit encryption protocols, the same used by the US federal government to protect top-secret information. The chip is also tamper-evident and will “die” if attempts to tamper with the chip or card are made. When a chip dies, it renders a “tampered” or “invalid” result when scanned by your smartphone using the MintID app. Your smartphone will need iOS 13.0 or later or Android 4.2 or later to operate.
On the obverse of 2020 Australian Gold Kangaroo Coins is a depiction of Queen Elizabeth II. Her Majesty is shown here in right-profile relief in a design created in 2015 by Jody Clark for the Royal Mint of England. The design debuted on Australian coins from the Perth Mint in 2018 and 2019. It depicts the Queen at the age of 89 as she wears the George IV State Diadem crown.
The reverse face of the 2020 1 oz Australian Gold Kangaroo Coin is the image of an adult kangaroo standing in an open field with its young joey nearby. The Australian Gold Kangaroo Coin was one of the first in the world to use new reverse designs with each release in the series.
MintID certificate cards represent the latest in security measures for gold bullion. In this case, the security features are entirely housed within the certificate card itself. MintID authenticated each coin before housing it in the certificate card. Each coin is linked to just one, unique NFC microchip. That chip stores a unique digital profile for each coin in the cloud that only you can access by scanning the chip in the MintID app.
