Struck by The Perth Mint in 1987, this coin is a cornerstone of Australian numismatics, representing the era before the series transitioned to the Kangaroo motif. **Obverse (Front)** The obverse features the **Third Effigy** of Queen Elizabeth II, designed by **Raphael Maklouf**. Introduced in 1985, this portrait depicts the Queen wearing the King George IV State Diadem and the Diamond Jubilee necklace. The inscriptions "ELIZABETH II" and "AUSTRALIA" encircle the portrait. **Reverse (Back)** The reverse showcases the famous **"Welcome Stranger"** gold nugget—the largest alluvial gold nugget ever found. It is encircled by the inscriptions "THE AUSTRALIAN NUGGET," the weight "1 OZ," and the purity "FINE GOLD."
