Why buy 1/10oz Gold Kangaroo 2015 coins?
Australian Kangaroo Gold Coins have dramatically lower mintages than other modern gold bullion coins and restricted availability. Also, unlike most modern issues, the Gold Kangaroo designs are changed annually, which encourages collectors to save them from year to year. For these two reasons they are also referred to as "bullion collector coins". 2015 1/10oz Gold Kangaroo coins are a prize to own for their beauty and pure gold content, so make sure you keep some for your collection and save some others to present as gifts to loved ones

History of the 2015 1/10 oz Gold Kangaroo
Initially introduced with a 1986 proof set as the Australian Gold Nugget, the Gold Kangaroo was the first gold bullion series to be approved by the Australian government and was subsequently issued as legal tender under the Australian Currency Act 1965. It was followed by legendary series such as the Gold Koala in 1988 and the Gold Kookaburra in1990. On the 23rd of April 1987 the Australian Gold Nugget coin was officially launched in Sydney displaying on its reverse side the largest gold nugget ever found, a rock containing 2,284oz of gold. The 1/10 denomination had the inscription "Little Hero" below the rock. In 1990, although the coins were still called "The Australian Nugget", the design on the reverse side was changed to depict a red kangaroo designed by Stuart Devlin as an internationally recognized symbol of Australia and its unique wildlife. Since that time, a kangaroo motif has appeared on each Gold Kangaroo issue, but changes annually on coins weighing 1oz and less.
