The coin featuring the Kangaroo is one of the most frequently chosen investment products by collectors. It is worth noting that what sets this product apart from other gold investment coins is that the reverse design changes annually. Furthermore, it features an additional security measure in the form of the letter "P" engraved on the reverse side.
The history of this exceptional coin dates back to 1987. For the first 21 years of production, the gold Kangaroo was minted under the name “gold nugget.” Importantly, since 1995, the image of the Kangaroo has remained unchanged, while earlier designs depicted not only the Kangaroo but also gold nuggets.

Reverse shows two kangaroos, with a windmill in the background. The coin also features the inscription "KANGAROO" along with details about the weight, year of issue, and metal quality. The reverse design was created by Neil Hollis.
