The reverse side features two kangaroos crossing a river, leaving ripples in the water where they jump. The word “KANGAROO” appears above them, and beneath the final letter O is a small letter P, representing The Perth Mint, which can only be seen with magnification. The inscription “2025 1 OZ 9999 GOLD” indicates the year, weight, and purity of the coin. The number “40” is displayed in a circle, referring to the special anniversary edition.
In 2026 the renowned Australian mint celebrates the 40th anniversary of the Gold Nugget. The Gold Nugget gold coin was inspired by gold nuggets unearthed during the Australian gold rush. Nuggets like the “Welcome Stranger” found in 1869, weighing over 100 kg of gold, formed the basis of various designs. The Gold Nugget was Australia's first modern investment coins introduced by The Perth Mint in 1986. Only a few years later the design of the Gold Nugget was changed to the Kangaroo. The Kangaroo series has since continued and is adorned with annually changing desig. These Kangaroo bullion coints turned into some of the the most successful investment coins worldwide.
The obverse displays a portrait of King Charles III surrounded by the text “King Charles III AUSTRALIA 100 DOLLARS,” denoting the monarch and the coin’s face value.
