| Reverse description | A kangaroo resting on its side in the foreground atop a rocky hillside, rendered in fine high-relief detail, with a second kangaroo depicted bounding in the middle ground. A grass tree (Xanthorrhoea) rises prominently in the background, evoking an authentic Australian bush landscape. The date '2025', weight and fineness designation '2oz 9999 GOLD', the word 'KANGAROO', the Perth Mint's 'P' mintmark, and the designer's initials 'NH' appear as legends within the field. The deeply frosted relief elements contrast with the mirror-polished proof fields. |

| Additional information |
The "high relief" designation here is more than a marketing distinction — achieving it on a 2-troy-ounce planchet requires multiple slow strikes under significantly greater pressure than standard proof production, and the Perth Mint has refined this process over decades to prevent die failure mid-run. Mintages on high-relief issues from Perth are typically capped well below their standard proof equivalents, constrained by die life rather than commercial demand.
This is also among the earliest Perth Mint Kangaroo issues to bear Charles III's effigy, with the portrait by Australian sculptor Horatio Loukmidas adopted following the accession in September 2022.
