Celebrated nugget design
Stuart Devlin’s portrayal of the Pride of Australia first appeared on the 1988 Australian Nugget 1oz gold proof coin. Three and a half decades later, The Perth Mint is delighted to reprise the design for investors seeking precious metal in trusted legal tender format.
Historical design
Weighing approximately 7 kilograms and thought by some to resemble the shape of mainland Australia, the Pride of Australia was unearthed outside Wedderburn, 215 kilometres north of Melbourne, in 1981. The coin depicts the remarkable find on a pattern of radial lines with the inscriptions ‘AUSTRALIAN NUGGET’, ‘PRIDE OF AUSTRALIA’ and The Perth Mint’s ‘P’ mintmark. Also on the reverse is the coin’s weight, fineness, and year-date.
Memorial Obverse
The coin bears the official Queen Elizabeth II Memorial Obverse, featuring the Jody Clark effigy supplemented with the dates of Her Majesty’s reign – ‘1952 – 2022’. Also included on the obverse is the coin’s monetary denomination.
