2018 Perth Mint Kangaroo 1oz 9999 Gold Coin

This fantastic 2018 1 oz Australian Gold Kangaroo Coin is the newest issue in the highly collectible series of the renowned Perth Mint - the Australian Kangaroo. Each year, the mint introduces a new depiction of a kangaroo on the reverse side of the coin, making it a desired collectible and a unique investment opportunity.

The Kangaroo Series was originally minted by the Perth Mint as the Gold Nugget series in 1986. During 1986 - 1989, the reverse side of these coins showcased various images of gold nuggets. However, in 1989, the mint decided to change the design to feature the image of the most recognizable Australian wildlife symbol - the kangaroo. Since then, these superb coins are minted from .9999 pure gold in the popular 1 oz. denomination, as well as in larger sizes, like 1 kilo, and the smaller, such as 1/2 oz.,1/4 oz. and 1/10 oz. coins. The kangaroo is the most instantly recognizable wildlife symbol of Australia. The world's largest marsupial, females carry their infants around in their pouch for two months after being born. These young kangaroos, called joeys, will stay close to their mothers until about eight months of age.

Red Kangaroos hop along on their powerful hind legs and do so at tremendous speed and with incredible grace. In fact, a red kangaroo can reach speeds of over 35 miles per hour! Their massive gait allows them to cover 25 feet in a single leap. The male kangaroos are larger than the females, and sometimes fight over potential mates by leaning back on their tails and boxing each other with their strong hind legs.
