| Reverse description | An adult kangaroo in a crouching posture occupies the central field, set before a stylised rural Australian landscape framed by native trees, with a radiant sun motif above the horizon. The design is attributed to engraver Aleysha Howarth. The legend AUSTRALIAN KANGAROO arcs along the upper periphery, while the date 2019, the weight denomination 1/20oz, the fineness 9999 GOLD, and the Perth Mint's P mintmark appear in the lower field. |

| Additional information |
Australia's one-tenth ounce gold bullion program has been running continuously since 1986, making it one of the longest-uninterrupted sovereign gold bullion series in the world. The fourth portrait of Elizabeth II, by Ian Rank-Broadley, was introduced on Australian coinage in 1999 and remained in use until the fifth portrait by Jody Clark took over — meaning this 2019 piece falls near the end of that portrait's two-decade run on Perth Mint bullion issues.
The .9999 fineness is a Perth Mint standard, one step above the more common .999 used by many competing mints. That additional refining step was a deliberate marketing distinction when Perth began pushing into Asian bullion markets in the 1980s.
