Tiny format, real substance

Hardly bigger than a shirt button, and yet a fully-fledged piece of investment gold: this is exactly where the appeal of the Mini Roo lies. The Perth Mint mints this small Kangaroo gold coin from the finest 24-carat gold, with a face value of 2 Australian dollars and legal tender status in Australia. For investors who want to build up their gold holdings gradually rather than in large units, a format like this is ideal – because small amounts of gold add up over the years to a considerable fortune.

The design: Kangaroo with joey

Two kangaroos – a large mother animal and a small joey – stand upright side by side, looking to the left. An image that can almost be read as a symbol of wealth accumulation across generations. The animals are engraved in great detail, right down to the finely structured fur. Along the lower edge runs the inscription "0.5 GRAM 9999 GOLD", with the small "P" mint mark of the Perth Mint sitting to the right of the field. The obverse shows the portrait of Queen Elizabeth II designed by Jody Clark, along with the year 2020, the face value "2 DOLLARS" and the country name "AUSTRALIA".

Brilliant Uncirculated and in a blister card

You receive the 0.5g Gold Kangaroo Nugget 2020 as brand-new Brilliant Uncirculated stock, securely encased in a decorative blister card featuring the Australian Kangaroo design. This keeps the delicate fine gold optimally protected and allows it to be traded on just as easily later.

Why physical gold – substance is what counts

The design gives this coin its personal touch, but the real reason to buy is the fine gold itself. Gold has an inherent, intrinsic value, is recognised worldwide, highly liquid and can be converted into cash at any time. It has never had a value of zero and has protected its owners from loss of purchasing power, inflation and currency risks for over 6,000 years.

• Value preservation: A scarce commodity with limited supply – which contributes to long-term value stability.
• Tradability: Accepted worldwide as a means of payment and exchange, and resalable at any time.
• Wealth transfer: As a long-term safeguard that can be passed down through generations.
• Tax aspect: Profits from the private sale of gold are generally tax-free after a holding period of at least one year.

It is not without reason that the world's central banks hold gigantic gold reserves – a clear signal that even the issuers of fiat money have only limited trust in their own paper currency. Anyone who follows this logic secures part of their wealth with physical gold, independent of the banking system.

A gold investment to give as a gift

For birthdays, christenings, weddings or Christmas, the Mini Roo lets you give real investment gold instead of a fleeting present – a lasting asset. Not merely a souvenir, but recognised investment gold in a small denomination.

Despite the personal occasion, what you are acquiring here is full-fledged investment gold – minted fine gold whose value is based on the gold price.

Whether as an entry point into physical gold investment, as a plannable building block for wealth accumulation in small steps, or as a small but genuine component of crisis protection: the 0.5g Gold Kangaroo Nugget 2020 from the Perth Mint combines Australian minting artistry with the timeless security of the yellow metal.
