1/4 oz 2022 Australian Kangaroo Gold Proof Coin
Product Description:
An Iconic Product of the Perth Mint, the 1/4 oz 2022 Australian Kangaroo Gold Proof Coin, is a striking tribute to Australia's most beloved and iconic animal. The Australian kangaroo has a distinctive style of movement, hopping on its hind legs whilst using its large muscular tail for balance, making it one of the only animals which are unable to move backwards. This is one of the reasons why the kangaroo bearers the Australian Coat of Arms as it signifies a country moving forward.
* 99.99% pure gold
* Australian legal tender
* Internationally recognised
* Limited mintage of 500 coins
Each coin is issued as legal tender under the Australian Currency Act 1965, the undisputed guarantee of its weight and purity. The coin has been struck with an extra-deep blank to showcase its superbly detailed design in high relief.
The reverse of the gold coin portrays a kangaroo and its joey bounding across a flat, grassy plain with hillocks on the horizon. The inscription KANGAROO, The Perth Mints P mintmark, the 2022 year-date and the weight and purity are also included in the design. The Jody Clark effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and the monetary denomination are shown on the obverse of the coin.
The coin is housed in a classic display case with a wooden lid. Packaged within an illustrated shipper, each coin is accompanied by a numbered Certificate of Authenticity.
