| Reverse description | The reverse presents a finely detailed depiction of a red kangaroo in mid-bound, rendered in high relief with naturalistic musculature and texture, set against a ground of native Australian scrub vegetation. The legend 'AUSTRALIAN KANGAROO' arcs prominently around the upper portion of the design within a broad curved band. Below the kangaroo, the inscriptions '2017 1/4 oz 9999 GOLD' are engraved in the lower field. The Perth Mint's 'P' mintmark appears to the left of the kangaroo, and the designer's initials 'JM' are discretely located near the base of the design. |

| Additional information |
Australia's gold kangaroo bullion series has been issued continuously since 1987, making it one of the longer-running sovereign bullion programs globally. Unlike the original "Nugget" series it replaced in name, the kangaroo design changes annually — a deliberate policy by the Perth Mint intended to stimulate collector demand on top of the base bullion market, and one that distinguishes it from the fixed-design approach of competitors like the Krugerrand or Maple Leaf.
The Perth Mint operates under a Western Australian government guarantee, not the Royal Australian Mint — a distinction that matters for buyers tracking sovereign backing.
