| Additional information |
The Australian Kangaroo bullion series has run continuously since 1989, making it one of the longer-lived national gold bullion programs. Unlike many sovereign bullion coins, the reverse design changes annually — a deliberate policy by the Perth Mint intended to stimulate collector demand alongside the standard investment market. Charles III's accession portrait appearing on this issue marks only the second monarch to feature in the series' history, with Elizabeth II having anchored every prior year.
