1/2 Ounce 2024 Kangaroo Gold Coin

Description

The ½ ounce 2024 gold kangaroo coin is a premium bullion piece, boasting an exquisite finish.

The country of origin, the coin's denomination, and the monarch's name are elegantly inscribed alongside the king's depiction. The design transitions from previous royal effigies to feature King Charles III in a detailed portrayal, reflecting modern numismatic artistry.

On the reverse, the coin captures the essence of the Australian outback with a depiction of a red kangaroo accompanied by a young joey, leaping across the vast plains. This side also includes the year of minting and the gold's purity level, celebrating Australia's rich natural heritage.
