2008 Kangaroo Dreaming Gold Coins
There is huge international interest in Australian Indigenous art, the oldest ongoing tradition of art in the world, which The Perth Mint is proud to portray on these innovative rectangle-shaped coins.
99.99% Pure Gold
The coins are struck from 10g, 5g and 2.5g of 99.99% pure gold. (2.5g denomination used in obverse illustration.)
Unusual Rectangle Shape
The rectangular coins are the perfect shape for the Indigenous-style art portrayed on their reverses.
Reverse Design Inspiration
Created by Darryl Bellotti, an Indigenous artist of both Yamatji and Nyoongar descent, the design is inspired by his boyhood memories of a hunting trip in north-western Australia. The kangaroo is surrounded by patterns of dots, symbolising the hunters’ journey, and circles, representing the places where they stopped..
Australian Legal Tender
Issued as legal tender under the Australian Currency Act 1965, each coin bears the Ian Rank-Broadley effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and the monetary denomination on its obverse.
