Design
The 2016 Perth Mint nuggets (or kangaroos) feature a kangaroo resting on its haunches with the silhouette of another kangaroo in the background. The Ian Rank-Broadley portrait of the Queen is on the obverse.
The one kilo coin has a different design from the rest of the series and features the classic red kangaroo design by Dr Stuart Devlin AO CMG, goldsmith and jeweller to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.
Perth Mint 2016 Bullion Coin Program
Nugget or Kangaroo?
Until 1990 the coins featured famous gold nuggets on the reverse and were referred to as 'nuggets'. From 1990 onwards the design changed to feature a kangaroo instead. For this reason the coins may be called nuggets, kangaroos or 'roos.
The Perth Mint have released a silver version of the coin - the 2016 1oz Silver Kangaroo.
Mintages
No more than 100,000 1/2oz coins, 150,000 1/4oz coins and 200,000 1/10oz coins will be produced. Mintage of the 1oz and 1 kilo coins is unlimited.
