I picked up a new gold coin in January that deserves a little highlight. It is the 2026 Australia Gold Kangaroo with the “40” privy mark. It celebrates 40 years of the Australian Nugget series. The Nuggets are the first official Australian gold coins.

I like it when a coin has a real reason behind it instead of just being another yearly release, and this one actually does. That's a reason I bought the gold coin, lol.

The two kangaroos look like they’re caught mid‑jump ☝️, kicking up water as they move. The ripples, the splashes, even the mountains behind them all work together to give the design real movement. A lot of coins just look pressed into metal. This one feels like an actual scene frozen in time. Just compare it to other gold kangaroos.

The Gold Nugget and Kangaroo coin series was first introduced in 1987 by Gold Corp., an entity owned by the Western Australian government, who oversees operations at The Perth Mint. Today, not only are the Gold Kangaroos available in the 1 oz gold BU coin, but also in smaller fractional sizes.

This here is four decades of Australian bullion design evolving from the old Nugget to the modern Kangaroo.

What started with the old Nugget designs has changed a lot over the years, and this coin shows that whole journey. You can see the shift from those early, plain styles to the sharper, more detailed look the Perth Mint makes today.
