Features of the 1/4 Ounce 2022 Gold Kangaroo
The first Australian gold kangaroo coin was minted in 1986, and the coin was called the Australian nugget. The nuggets came in 1, ½, ¼, and 1/10 ounce coins. This design was updated to an image of a Kangaroo in 1988. Modern gold kangaroo coins are struck using advanced technology and feature a new kangaroo design.
