2008 Australia Gold Kangaroo 1 oz

Beginning in 1986, the Perth Mint released the Gold Nugget series. To join alongside the other coin series from Australia, the Perth Mint renamed the series the Australian Gold Kangaroo. The Perth Mint also changed the design from actual gold nuggets to one of the most recognizable Australian wildlife. Since the Perth Mint already began the Kookaburra series, they thought it would be a smart idea to offer other wildlife coin series and bring some much needed attention to the vast Australian outback.

The kangaroo is famously known for carrying its young in a small pouch over its belly. The kangaroo can also scale territory and jumping 25 feet at a time, resulting in an impressive 35m/hour average.
