| Reverse description | A finely detailed kangaroo in a resting upright posture occupies the centre of the field, facing left, set against an Australian outback landscape featuring native eucalyptus trees and scrubland vegetation. The inscription KANGAROO arcs prominently across the upper field in bold serif lettering. To the left, the date 2023 and the purity and weight designation 1oz 9999 GOLD are inscribed vertically, with the Perth Mint's P mintmark below. The engraver's initials IJ appear at the lower left of the design. The reverse field is executed in frosted relief against a deeply mirrored proof background. |

Australia's shift to a sixth portrait of Elizabeth II — the Sheryl Arnold effigy approved in 2019 — was completed just as the Queen's reign was ending, leaving a narrow window in which coins bearing this portrait circulated under her reign before her death in September 2022. This 2023 issue therefore appears posthumously, struck by the Perth Mint under the authority of a monarch who had already died before the calendar year of its production.
The Perth Mint's four-nines gold standard has been maintained consistently since the Kangaroo bullion series launched in 1987.
