Although many native species of the Australian continent are easily recognizable as distinct residents of the country, the kangaroo is perhaps the most popular. The animal is the largest marsupial in the world, and combines a lovable appearance with an extremely muscular body that is stabilized by a strong tail.

Kangaroos serve as symbols for various groups and government agencies in Australia. It not only appears on the official coat of arms for the nation, but is also used as a logo for the Royal Australian Air Force and as a brand image for Quantas Airlines.

On the reverse face of each 2016 1 oz Australian Gold Kangaroo Coin is the image of a kangaroo as it stands, resting on its muscular tail. The background image on the coin is that of a silhouette outlining another kangaroo in the distance. Engravings around the image include “Australian Kangaroo,” and the coin’s year of minting, weight, purity, and metal content.

The obverse face features the right-profile portrait of England’s Queen Elizabeth II, as created by Ian-Rank Broadley. The image is surrounded by Her Majesty’s name, the nation of issue, and the face value of the coin.

Australia’s Perth Mint is the oldest operating facility in the country. Originally opened in 1898 as part of the Royal Mint of London system, it stayed open longer than its predecessors, the Sydney Mint and Melbourne Mint. Although it is not affiliated with the Royal Australian Mint system, under the Currency Act of 1965, its bullion coins enjoy legal-tender status in Australia.
