3000 Dollars - Elizabeth II 4th Portrait - Kangaroo Road Sign - Gold

The "Kangaroo Road Sign" series drew on one of Australia's more pragmatic pieces of infrastructure — the warning signs erected along outback highways where vehicle collisions with kangaroos are a genuine road hazard, not a novelty. Perth Mint's one-kilogram issues in this format occupy a deliberate commercial niche: legal tender face values wildly below melt, produced in strictly limited runs, sold almost entirely to institutional and high-net-worth bullion collectors who will never spend them. KM#1958 is one of the heavier single-coin gold issues the mint produced under the fourth Jody Clark-era portrait licensing agreements with the Royal Mint.
