The 2026 1/2 Ounce Australian Kangaroo Gold Coin is a stunning release from the world-renowned Perth Mint, blending investment security with collectible appeal. The obverse of the coin presents a finely detailed portrait of King Charles III, a design that reflects the modern era of the British monarchy. The inscriptions “Charles III” and “Australia” highlight its regal and national significance, while the denomination of $50 AUD confirms its status as official legal tender.
The reverse captures the Red Kangaroo, Australia’s most iconic wildlife symbol, set within its natural desert landscape. Depicted in a powerful yet graceful pose, the kangaroo is framed by inscriptions denoting the coin’s year of issue “2026”, weight “1/2 oz”, and gold purity “9999”, certifying its status as a 24-carat gold investment coin of the highest standard.
Launched in 1986, the Kangaroo series is the Perth Mint’s flagship bullion program, internationally recognised for its quality and beauty. Originally struck with a gold nugget design, the series adopted the Red Kangaroo motif in 1988, which has become its defining feature.
