The Perth Mint's One Ton Gold Australian Kangaroo Coin was awarded the title of the ‘"largest coin" by Guinness World Records in 2012.

The successful casting of the enormous gold bullion coin is considered one of The Perth Mint’s most extraordinary accomplishments, and the coin is now on permanent display in The Perth Mint’s Gold Exhibition.

At today's gold spot prices, the coin is worth approximately $80 million USD! Click here to view a short video about the making of this iconic coin.

And while you can't actually purchase it, you can own the Gold Australian Kangaroo in a variety of sizes.

While 1 oz. gold is typically the sweet spot for investors, fractional gold offers investors a few key benefits. Fractional gold is gold coins that are split into 1/10, 1/4, 1/2 oz. sizes, rather than the most typical 1 oz. size.

One of the main benefits of fractional gold is that it can be more accessible to buy in smaller increments than buying full ounces of gold. This makes it a great option for investors who are looking to diversify their portfolio or start investing in gold, but don’t have a lot of money to do so.

The divisibility of fractional gold also makes it easier to sell without selling whole ounces of gold. You may want to liquidate a small amount to meet a financial goal and fractional coins may be preferable for this. It’s also a way to give gold as a gift to loved ones without overdoing it.

Fractional gold does tend to carry a higher premium per coin than 1 oz. gold because it is more expensive to produce and generally in shorter supply than the popular 1 oz. coins, but if you're looking for divisibility or the ability to purchase gold in smaller increments, it can be a great way to start investing or strengthen the position in gold you already have.

To help you take advantage of the building momentum in gold in 2024, we're offering fractional gold at a relatively low premium! Give us a call at 1-800-831-0007 or email us to place your order today!
