The Perth Mint introduced the Gold Kangaroo and Silver Kangaroo in 1990 as the first in a long-running series of bullion coins from the mint with new designs on the reverse each year. Further, the coins set a trend for featuring native wildlife on the reverse of the coins. The Gold Kangaroo proved to be the first in a series of three metallic options in the series. The coin is the only one of the major collections at the Perth Mint to feature gold, silver, and platinum coin options.

The red kangaroo is the most numerous in Australia and is the subspecies featured here on the reverse.
