Australia GOLD Nugget coins

Interesting fact:  The first several years of Australian gold bullion coins had designs featuring different famous large gold "nuggets".  Over time, the Australia Perth mint began featuring different "Kangaroo" designs instead of nuggets.  Because of this past history, some collectors and gold investors still call the Kangaroo gold coins, nugget gold coins.

The Australia government mint says this about their Kangaroo gold nugget bullion collector coins -

"These coins are the only major legal tender, pure gold bullion coins to change their design each year. This feature and their limited annual mintages give them potential for numismatic appreciation over time. The year date also changes annually."

"All coins are legal tender under the Australian Currency Act 1965 and bear an effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and the monetary denomination on the obverse."   (Note - with a Kangaroo design on the reverse side.  The Kangaroo design changes yearly, while the Queen's portrait often remains the same. )

Yearly "Mintages of the Australian Nuggett (ie Kangaroo) coins are restricted to:

• 350,000 1oz,

• 100,000 1/2oz,

• 150,000 1/4oz,

• 200,000 1/10oz, and

• 200,000 1/20oz coins"

"These coins are distinguished from other precious metal investment coins by: 

• Annual design changes

• A government guarantee of purity and weight.

• Official Australian legal tender status

• A superior quality of finish, which incorporates delicate proof-like frosting within the central design area. "
