In 2026, the series celebrates 40 years of production, with this anniversary release featuring a commemorative privy mark. Right now, 2026 1/10 oz Australian Gold Kangaroo Coins are available at Bullion Metals.

Kangaroos leap through shallow waters on the reverse.

Kangaroos play a vital ecological role in Australian ecosystems as both grazers and prey animals. Their grazing patterns help shape vegetation communities, and their movements distribute seeds across the landscape. As a key prey species for dingoes and, historically, for thylacines, kangaroos formed an essential link in Australia’s food chains. Their ability to survive on minimal water and their efficient digestion make them remarkably well-adapted to Australia’s often harsh environment.

The obverse of the 2026 Australian Gold Kangaroo bears Dan Thorne’s portrait of King Charles III. His Majesty is presented in left-profile relief without a crown, serving as the first official effigy of the King on Australian coinage.

For the reverse, the 2026 1/10 oz Gold Kangaroo Coin showcases two kangaroos hopping through shallow water, their movement causing ripples across the surface. The design reflects the kangaroo’s uniquely efficient mode of travel, perfected through thousands of years of adaptation.
