Australian Kangaroo – Nugget, 1 oz Gold, 1992

Australian Kangaroo – Nugget is a classic investment and collectible gold coin struck from 1 oz of pure 9999 gold, issued in 1992 by the renowned The Perth Mint. Issues from the early 1990s represent the formative period of Australian bullion coinage and are now especially sought after by collectors.

The series known as “Australian Nugget” refers to the rich history of Australia’s gold rush and the country’s natural heritage. The kangaroo motif, a national symbol of Australia, combines global recognizability with strong national identity. Thanks to the highest gold purity and precise minting, the coin has retained lasting bullion and aesthetic value.

The coin carries a face value of 100 Australian dollars, a diameter of 32.1 mm, and a reeded edge. Gold of Au .9999 fineness guarantees high purity, while the 1992 issue makes it an appealing choice for collectors of historic Perth Mint releases. The offered example is in near-mint condition.

The obverse features a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, together with her name, the issuing country Australia, and the denomination of 100 Dollars. The design follows the classic style typical of Australian legal tender.

The reverse depicts an Australian kangaroo in a dynamic pose. The inscription AUSTRALIAN NUGGET, along with details of the one-ounce weight, gold purity, and the year 1992, completes a clear and timeless composition.
