| Reverse description | A detailed map of Australia is depicted in the central field, rendered in high relief with a mirror-like polished surface. Two kangaroos stand in the foreground beneath the map in a naturalistic landscape setting, while a densely composed frieze of kangaroos in various poses and species surrounds the entire central design, framed by a rocky arch. The Perth Mint mintmark (M) appears to the lower left, and a '35th Anniv.' commemorative cartouche is positioned to the lower right. The legend THE AUSTRALIAN KANGAROO and the date 2025 arc around the upper border, with the fineness and weight specification .9999 FINEST GOLD 1 OZ inscribed along the lower border. |

| Additional information |
Rwanda's legal tender gold bullion program is effectively a licensing arrangement — the National Bank issues the authority, while the coins themselves are designed and distributed through overseas mints and bullion marketing firms with no meaningful connection to Rwandan commerce or circulation. This piece will never see Kigali.
The kangaroo motif is franchised annually by the Perth Mint under Australian copyright, making this Rwandan-denominated coin a contractual artifact of the global bullion licensing trade rather than any monetary policy decision in Kigali.
