The 2022 gold Kangaroo coin was minted by the Perth Mint of Australia. The 1 kilo pure gold (99.99%) coins have a special animal as design: namely the kangaroo.

There are 50 different species of kangaroos that mainly live in Australia. The animals can only move forwards, they cannot jump backwards. Forward, the kangaroos can reach a high speed, namely 70 kilometers per hour. Also, kangaroos are mammals, baby kangaroos are called Joey and can weigh only 1 gram at birth. This is because the kangaroo has a gestation period of one month and a baby kangaroo resembles a small worm measuring 2 centimeters at birth. Further development takes place in its mother's pouch. After about 9 months, 'Joey' is too big to stay in his mother's pouch and he goes out into the world.
