Obverse

Queen Elizabeth II is featured on the obverse of 2016 Kangaroo 1/10 oz Gold Coins from the Royal Australian Mint. The Queens effigy is set in the center with an ornate leaf wreath around the portrait. In this bust, Queen Elizabeth II is shown in right-profile relief with the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland Tiara on the head. This design was created initially for the Royal Mint of England in 1998 by Ian Rank-Broadley and came to Australian denominations starting in 1999.

Reverse

One of the most iconic emblems of Australia is captured mid-leap on the reverse of 2016 Kangaroo 1/10 oz Gold Coins. The Royal Australian Mint revives the copper penny design from the early 20th century on these coins with a beautiful background field behind the leaping kangaroo as it moves from right to left across the design element.

History

The copper penny originated in Australia in the first decade of the 20th century. It wasnt until the 1930s that the beautiful leaping kangaroo design came to the copper penny. That original design included within the background field the Commonwealth star, a feature not included in this particular design.
