The Gold Nugget was introduced in 1986 by the Gold Corporation, a company wholly owned by the government of Western Australia. Gold Kangaroos have been produced by Perth Mint since 1989 and are one of the purest gold coins in the world at .9999 purity. The Nugget is minted in denominations of 1/20 oz, 1/10 oz, 1/4 oz, 1/2 oz, 1 oz, 2 oz, 10 oz and 1 kg. The motif of the Nugget varies from year to year, giving the coins a slightly higher numismatic value over their bullion value.
Coin Highlights:
- Contains 1oz of 9999 Fine Gold
- Australian Legal Tender with government backed purity guarantee and face value of $100
- Protective acrylic capsule
The reverse of the coin features two kangaroos standing in front of the Australian Map. Bordered by the inscription “THE AUSTRALIAN NUGGET”, the year-date, the weight and its purity.
The obverse features the Ian Rank-Broadley effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and the monetary denomination.
