Australian Kangaroo/Nugget 1/4oz Best Value Gold Bullion Coin
Our best value 1/4oz gold Australian Kangaroo bullion coins offer you the chance to buy a pre-owned 1/4oz gold Kangaroo bullion coin at the lowest price from The Royal Mint – the UK’s home of gold.
The Australian Kangaroo, also commonly known as The Australian Gold Nugget, has been produced by the Perth Mint since 1986. During its lifetime the reverse coin design has changed annually, being one of the few one-ounce gold bullion coins on the market to do so. During its initial introduction in 1986 to 1988 the reverse design featured a traditional golden nugget, whilst from 1989 to present day the design has featured the iconic kangaroo.
As this is a best value coin, we will select a pre-owned 1/4oz gold Australian Kangaroo bullion coin minted between 1986 and the current year. Our best value 1/4oz gold Australian Kangaroo bullion coins are sold solely on the basis of their gold content, rather than any numismatic or collector value, and may contain scratches, dents and other marks.
Please note, you may not receive the exact coin as pictured above. Our best value 1/4oz gold Australian Kangaroo bullion coins may feature obverse portraits and reverse designs minted by the Perth Mint.
Please note, these coins are not exempt from Capital Gains Tax.
Best Value bullion coins are randomly selected from the stock available at a single point in time. If you purchase multiple single-capsule Best Value bullion coins in a single order, you may receive bullion coins with a mix of designs and dates or the same dated bullion coin multiple times.
How are bullion prices calculated?
The 'buy' and 'sell' prices shown on the website represent the market value of raw vaulted metal in an 'unallocated' form. This is the standard way prices are quoted throughout the bullion industry. In order for The Royal Mint to deliver beautifully crafted precious metals products to your address, or to our vault, a number of processes must take place, all of which incur a cost. These processes include transportation, refining, minting, quality checking and merchandising.
The price at which The Royal Mint is able to sell bullion products to consumers is therefore made up of the 'spot price' (the buy price) plus an additional premium. The premium accounts for the costs incurred in manufacturing a particular product and is usually either a percentage of the buy price or a fixed monetary amount. In short, manufactured bullion products always sell at a premium to enable retailers and manufacturers to cover their costs.
Can I spend/pay using my bullion coins?
All UK coins, whether circulating or non-circulating, are authorised as “legal tender” by Royal Proclamation, in accordance with the Coinage Act of 1971.
Legal tender allows UK coins to be accepted for payment of debts in court – but, only circulating legal tender coins are designed to be spent and traded at businesses and banks. The Royal Mint creates commemorative and bullion coin series to celebrate key moments or individuals, and these are treasured for their collectable and aesthetic value, or purchased for investment opportunities. However, these non-circulating, commemorative and bullion coins are limited edition and will not enter general circulation – meaning banks and businesses are not required to accept them.
