Kangaroos are synonymous with Australia, serving as one of the continent’s most recognizable symbols. These remarkable marsupials have inhabited the Australian landscape for millions of years, evolving in isolation after the continent separated from other landmasses. 

The obverse of 2026 Australian Gold Kangaroos features an effigy of King Charles III. His Majesty is shown here in left-profile relief without a crown on his head. This design from Dan Thorne is the official first-generation effigy of Charles III for Australian coinage.

On the reverse of 2026 1 oz Gold Kangaroo Coins, you will find a depiction of two kangaroos. In this year’s design, the kangaroos are shown hopping through shallow waters, leaving ripples with each hop. Kangaroos developed their distinctive hopping locomotion over thousands of years, which has proven exceptionally energy-efficient across vast distances.
