| Reverse description | A highly detailed, naturalistically rendered kangaroo stands in a hunched posture facing left at centre, set against a radiating sunburst pattern in the background field, evoking the Australian landscape. The Perth Mint's 'P' mint mark appears to the right of the kangaroo's body in the mid-field. The legend AUSTRALIAN KANGAROO arcs around the upper portion of the coin, while the inscription 2011 1oz 9999 GOLD is positioned along the lower exergue. The designer's initials AH appear below the kangaroo's tail. |

| Additional information |
The Perth Mint's Australian Kangaroo bullion series has carried a rotating reverse design since 1989, a deliberate policy distinguishing it from competitors like the Krugerrand and Maple Leaf, which lock in a fixed design year after year. The strategy was partly commercial — annual design changes drive collector demand on top of pure bullion interest — but it also complicates registry sets and makes date-matching for complete runs genuinely difficult.
The .9999 fineness adopted for this series was, at its introduction, finer than virtually any major sovereign bullion program then in production.
