1/2 oz Australian Gold Nugget Kangaroo Coin (Random Year)
Product Description
The Australian Gold Kangaroo Series, a cornerstone collection from Perth Mint, began in 1986. Initially known as the Australian Gold Nugget, it showcased famous gold nuggets from Western Australia on the reverse. In 1990, the design shifted to feature the native kangaroo species, though the coins still included the word “nugget” until 2008. Right now, 1/2 oz Australian Gold Nugget Kangaroo Coins are available at BGASC.

Each 1/2 oz Australian Gold Nugget Kangaroo Coin you purchase comes in an acrylic capsule. These coins are offered randomly with different possible years of issue and designs. Please remember that all items are selected at random after your payment clears. We cannot guarantee a specific year or design in advance. If you buy more than one, you may receive coins with the same year and design.
Obverse
The obverse of these Australian Gold Nugget Kangaroo Coins displays a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II. The effigy of the Queen has been updated throughout the series, with many coins likely featuring either Raphael Makloufs third-generation effigy or Ian Rank-Broadleys fourth-generation effigy.
Reverse
On the reverse side of the 1/2 oz Gold Nugget Kangaroos, you will find various designs. Since 1990, Perth Mint has highlighted different images of the native kangaroo on the reverse of the coins. Australia is home to four different subspecies of kangaroos, with the Western Grey and the Red Kangaroo being the most frequently depicted on the coins.
History
The Australian Nugget Series was rebranded as the Australian Kangaroo in 1990, but the coins retained the “Australian Nugget” engraving until 2008. Despite these changes, the kangaroo design has been a consistent feature since 1990.
