| Reverse description | A red kangaroo in full leap is depicted in sharp relief at the centre of the field, bounding to the left with both hind legs extended. Radial sunray lines emanate from behind the kangaroo, filling the inner field. The curved legend 'AUSTRALIAN KANGAROO' arcs across the upper field, accompanied by the specifications '2oz. 9999 GOLD' to the right. The mintmark 'P25' appears in the lower central field, with the inscription 'RED KANGAROO' below the kangaroo, and the commemorative date range '1989-2014' appears along the lower border, celebrating the 25th anniversary of the Australian Kangaroo gold bullion coin series. |

| Additional information |
The Australian Kangaroo gold bullion series launched in 1986 as a direct competitor to the South African Krugerrand, with Perth Mint deliberately choosing an annually rotating reverse design to drive collector demand alongside pure bullion buying. By the 25th anniversary issue in 2011 — with 2014 marking the series' 28th year under that branding — the program had firmly established Perth as one of the world's premier bullion producers. The two-ounce format sits outside the standard one-ounce flagship, targeting investors and collectors who want substantial gold content without committing to the kilo coins further up the range.
