| Reverse description | The reverse presents a finely detailed standing kangaroo in left profile, rendered in high relief at center, evoking the iconic Australian wildlife motif from the 'Icons of the World' bullion series. To the upper right, a stylized globe in meridian-line design is depicted, accompanied by a small circular GA hallmark. The curved legend ICONS OF THE WORLD 2020 arcs along the upper and left periphery. The lower field carries the inscriptions .9999 FINEST GOLD 1/200 OZ OR PUR, denoting the fineness, fractional weight, and purity in both English and French. |

| Additional information |
Rwanda's use of Australian animal imagery for bullion coinage is a licensing arrangement — the kangaroo design is produced under agreement with a private mint, positioning Rwanda as the issuing authority while the coins compete directly in the fractional gold market dominated by the Perth Mint's own issues. At 0.155 grams, this is among the smallest legal-tender gold coins produced anywhere, a format driven entirely by retail demand for low entry-point precious metal investment rather than any domestic monetary need.
