| Additional information |
Perth Mint's red kangaroo bullion series changes its reverse design annually — a deliberate policy since 1989 intended to drive collector demand alongside pure bullion buying. The 2014 quarter-ounce issue was produced during a period when the Australian dollar was trading near parity with the US dollar, which briefly made Perth's gold products unusually competitive in American markets without currency-adjusted premiums.
