Struck from 1oz of 99.99 % pure gold, this remarkable coin commemorates the 40th anniversary of the Australian Nugget Coin Program produced by The Perth Mint in 1986.

The Australian Nugget was the first legal tender gold coin program to be manufactured by The Perth Mint since the completion of sovereign production in 1931.

Debuting in 1986, the coins were struck in four denominations with artistic representations celebrating historic Australian natural gold nuggets by worldrenowned Australian goldsmith and numismatic designer Stuart Devlin.

Pulled from the archives, the coin’ s reverse showcases a design Devlin completed for the original program— yet was never released on a coin.

The design features the Welcome Stranger, the largest nugget ever recorded. Unearthed by prospectors John Deason and Richard Oates at Moliagul, Victoria in February 1869, their 2,284oz find was too large for the scales and had to be broken into three pieces before being weighed.
