The Perth Mint is famed for producing some of the most in-demand bullion coin collections in the world. Its most popular series all have a similar focus: endemic Australian wildlife. The oldest of these collections is the Australian Kangaroo Gold Bullion Series. The smallest option in this collection is the so-called Mini Roo, a 1/2 gram gold coin. Provident Metals happily offers the 2021 Australian Mini Roo 1/2 Gram Gold Coin to you for purchase online.
Highlights:
When you purchase 2021 Australian Mini Roo 1/2 Gram Gold Coins online at Provident Metals, you receive a coin that is individually packaged in Brilliant Uncirculated condition. Each coin comes with its own protective presentation card. This card includes a protective space for the coin and beautiful artwork in the background. The artwork offers a stylized setting in which a line of kangaroos hop across the Outback. The design includes the silhouette of several kangaroos against a red-orange backdrop.
Obverse
Queen Elizabeth II is featured on the obverse of 2021 Australian Mini Roo Gold Coins. This design was created in 2015 by Jody Clark for the Royal Mint of England. An artist for the Royal Mint starting in 2012, Clark created this effigy as the fifth-generation design for British coins and it has been adapted to Australian coins in 2018/2019 as the sixth-generation Australian design. The right-profile bust of the Queen includes the George IV State Diadem Crown. The inscriptions on this face read Elizabeth II, Australia, 2021, and 2 Dollars.
Reverse
A small kangaroo is depicted in left-profile relief on the reverse side of the 2021 Australian Mini Roo 1/2 Gram Gold Coin. The design on the Mini Roo offers the same kangaroo design from the larger 2021 coins, but lacks the background elements. With a small surface area to work with, only the body of the kangaroo as it rests on its hind legs and arms is found on this side of the coin. Inscriptions include only 0.5 Gram 9999 Gold and the P mint mark of the Perth Mint.
History
Australian Kangaroo Gold Coins were introduced in 1986 as the Australian Nugget Gold Coins. The original coins boasted new images of golden nuggets on the reverse each year. In 1989, the coin program shifted to become the Australian Kangaroo with new reverse images of the worlds largest marsupial each year. In 2010, the Perth Mint introduced this Mini Roo, the smallest coin in the series.
