Gold Kangaroo coins are a product of the Perth Mint founded in Western Australia. The original building stands as a landmark on Hay Street to date. The mint was founded after John Forrest the first Australian prime minister lobbied the British government. The prime minister had realized the important role gold mines would play in developing the economy of Western Australia.

From 1899 to 1931, the mint struck over 106 million gold sovereign coins. This represented half of the sovereign gold coins used in Australia and the British Empire.
