2018 Australia 1/4-oz Gold Kangaroo Proof

Featuring Australia's Most Iconic Animal

Australia's location has long made it an exotic destination for tourists from other parts of the globe. While there are several manmade landmarks, such as the Sydney Opera House and Harbour Bridge, and natural wonders, such as the Great Barrier Reef and Uluru, the biggest attraction remains an animal that can only be found on the continent, the kangaroo. Kangaroos capture the imaginations of children of all ages for their unique shapes and bounding movement. While they may appear playful, they are fierce fighters and can pose a danger to people who get too close. This 2018 quarter ounce Gold Australian Kangaroo features an artistic rendering of a pair of the creatures bounding across the outback under the hot sun.

• THE LATEST IN THE "AUSTRALIAN GOLDEN NUGGET" SERIES -- This 2018 Australian Kangaroo proof is the latest issue in Australia's Golden Nugget series. The series began in 1986 and featured Australian gold nuggets until 1989, when the proof began featuring images of kangaroos.

• PHENOMENAL PROOF FINISH -- Each 2018 Gold Kangaroo coin was struck on a hand-selected 99.99% fine gold planchet and has a proof finish that complements the sunny reverse design beautifully.

• AUSTRALIA LEGAL TENDER -- This 2018 Gold Australian Kangaroo Proof is $25 Australian legal tender, as noted on the bottom of the obverse.

• EXCELLENT EXTRAS -- Your proof will arrive in a beautiful wooden display box, which itself comes encased in a themed shipper. Also included is a numbered certificate of authenticity.

• A LIMITED MINTAGE -- This coin is part of a mintage of just 1,000 pieces.

Few countries anywhere in the world are as closely associated with an animal as Australia is with the kangaroo. It is little wonder, then, that when the decision was made to change the Golden Nugget series to feature designs more closely associated with the country, the kangaroo was chosen. This coin's beautiful design features two of the animals for which it is named in the setting in which millions of people around the world dream of seeing them. Just as the marsupials can bound away quickly, so too will your chance to own this stunning coin. Place your order now at GovMint.com!
