| Reverse description | A detailed, naturalistic depiction of a red kangaroo (Macropus rufus) in full mid-leap occupies the central field, set against a sweeping Australian outback landscape with scattered scrub vegetation and a large, textured full moon rising prominently in the background. The legend AUSTRALIAN KANGAROO arcs along the upper rim, while the inscriptions 2015, 1/4oz, and 9999 GOLD appear in the lower exergue area, flanked by the Perth Mint's 'P' mintmark at lower right. The composition conveys dynamic movement and depth, showcasing the engraving artistry typical of Perth Mint bullion issues. |

| Additional information |
Australia's four-nines fine gold bullion series, produced by the Perth Mint, sits outside the Royal Australian Mint's jurisdiction entirely — Perth operates under a Western Australian government mandate and is not a federal institution. The Kangaroo series has carried an annually changing reverse design since 1989, which distinguishes it from most sovereign bullion programs that fix their reverse imagery. The 2015 issue appeared the same year the Perth Mint was actively expanding its direct-to-investor distribution channels across Asian markets, particularly in China and Singapore, where retail bullion demand was accelerating sharply.
