  • Ships to you inside a tamper-evident assay card.
  • Includes PAMP Suisse Veriscan technology.
  • Consists of One-Half Troy ounce of .9999 fine gold in BU condition.

  • Obverse includes Queen Elizabeth II’s portrait.
  • Reverse features the kangaroo design.

Gold Kangaroo coins from the Royal Australian Mint are inspired in their design by the copper penny issued by the nation from 1938 to 1964. Featuring new effigies on the obverse side each year to represent the current British monarch, these coins were part of the Australian pound when the nation was a commonwealth of Britain.

That original design depicted a red kangaroo, one of the four major subspecies of the world’s largest marsupial species, hopping across the Outback with a Commonwealth Star in the design. The image was created by George Kruger Gray, and was taken out of circulation when decimalization occurred.

On the obverse of the Gold Royal Australian Mint Kangaroo coin you’ll find the right-profile portrait of Queen Elizabeth II. Her Majesty’s effigy is a creation of Ian Rank-Broadley, and was designed in 1998 as the fourth-generation portrait of the Queen to appear on commonwealth coinage.

The reverse of all 2017 ½ oz Gold Royal Australian Mint Kangaroo Coins includes that original design from Gray, with added imagery of the Tasmanian Blue Gum. The kangaroo and Commonwealth Star remain, but the leaves, nuts, and flowers of the plant are included as framing around the edges.

Each 2017 ½ oz Gold Royal Australian Mint Kangaroo coin in this listing is in BU condition. Coins in BU condition have no signs of wear and tear on the surfaces, however you may notice a variety of minor flaws including breaks in the luster, spotted surfaces, and contact marks from the production process.

The Royal Australian Mint was founded following passage of the Currency Act of 1965. This act also pushed decimalization of Australian currency and a move away from the Australian pound of British rule. The Royal Australian Mint is located in Canberra and is the only active mint in the nation aside from the Perth Mint.

Is my information secure?

We take data security very seriously. When you place an order with silver.com, your information is transmitted with the utmost SSL (secure socket layers) 256-bit protection. We also never have access to your credit/debit card details, as they are securely communicated directly to the payment processor (Authorize.net) and never retained by Silver.com. For this reason, we also don't process credit/debit card orders over the phone, as it is the least secure way to process those transactions.

In addition, all VISA and MasterCard orders undergo an additional step of user authentication - the respective Verified by VISA or MasterCard SecureCode programs. Upon completing checkout with a VISA or MasterCard credit/debit card, you may be promoted for additional details to confirm your identity and protect our customers against credit card fraud.

Do you charge sales tax?

Where does your spot price come from?

We use a live, up-to-the-second spot price feed supplied by Xignite.com, a worldwide leader in the data supply market.

Are your products actually in stock?

Yes. We are one of the few bullion dealers in the industry who only deems products "in stock" when we have them on-hand and ready to ship immediately. In the instance of a presale item, we denote that the product is on presale and the estimated shipping date. While we make the best efforts to hit presale dates, the dates are only estimates, given we cannot control mint production issues and/or carrier dealyes.

Why are multiple prices listed?

We offer a 4% discount to "cash" paying customers - with paper check, bank wire, and bitcoin payments being defined as cash. On many products, we are also able to offer volume discounts to customers purchasing large quantities of the same item. All volume pricing is laid out in the chart on the product's description page, as well as in the cart.

When do I lock in my price?

All prices are locked in at the time of purchase. Credit/debit card, PayPal, BitCoin, Ethereum, and Ripple orders are paid at the time of checkout, while paper check and bank wire orders require a credit/debit card on file to lock in your pricing while we await your payment. Please note, paper check and bank wire orders will NOT result in a charge to your card - we simple maintain the card on file while we await full payment by your selected payment method.

Do you ship internationally?
