The 2025 1/2 oz Gold Australian Kangaroo coin is a symbol of Australia’s unique wildlife and natural beauty.

Designed by Welsh illustrator and coin designer Dan Thorne, this effigy shows His Majesty in left-profile relief without a crown on his head.

The reverse of the 2025 1/2 oz Gold Australian Kangaroo is designed by Perth-based visual artist and educator Neil Hollis. The coin features a pair of kangaroos in a classic Australian setting. One lounges comfortably on the sunbaked ground, soaking in the warmth, while the other stands alert, poised to spring into motion. Framing the scene is the distinctive silhouette of a native grass tree (Xanthorrhoea australis), a plant well adapted to Australia’s rugged environment. The design is completed with the word “KANGAROO,” the iconic ‘P’ mintmark of The Perth Mint, the artist’s initial “NH”, the year 2025, and details of the coin’s weight and gold purity.
