| Reverse description | A kangaroo (Macropodidae) is depicted in left-facing profile, standing upright in high relief at the center of the field. Beneath the kangaroo, a globe rendered in meridian and parallel lines occupies the lower portion of the design. The date '2015' appears to the right of the kangaroo. The series legend 'ICONS OF THE WORLD' arcs across the upper field, while the fineness and weight inscription '.9999 FINEST GOLD 1/200 OZ OR PUR' curves along the lower rim. |

| Additional information |
Rwanda has issued a long-running series of fractional gold pieces under foreign licensing arrangements, with the kangaroo design having no geographic or historical connection to the country — Rwanda functions here purely as the issuing authority of convenience, a practice common among small nations generating mint revenue through collector-market bullion products. The Scottsdale Mint in Arizona produced this series for the Rwandan central bank.
