1/2 oz Australian Gold Nugget Kangaroo Coin (Random Year)

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. **Highlights:** - **Arrives inside acrylic capsules!** - **New reverse design each year!** - **Offered with random years of issue!** - Contains 1/2 Troy oz of .9999 pure gold. - Bears a face value of $50 (AUD) backed by the government of Australia. - The obverse includes a bust of Queen Elizabeth II. - On the reverse are varying kangaroo designs. - Please note that buying more than one could result in matching years and designs.

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. **Ordering** If you have any questions about gold coins for sale, please feel free to ask.
