Since 1986, the Perth Mint’s Australian Nugget-Kangaroo Series has been a favorite among collectors. Initially, the series showcased gold nuggets found in Western Australia. In 1990, the focus shifted to the kangaroo, an iconic Australian marsupial. Now, you can find Australian Nugget Kangaroo 1/4 oz Gold Coins at Provident Metals.
Highlights:
Each Australian Nugget Kangaroo 1/4 oz Gold Coin comes in an acrylic capsule. These coins are offered randomly and selected based on our current stock after your payment is processed. We cannot guarantee a specific year or design, and if you buy more than one, you may receive coins with matching years and designs.
Obverse
The obverse of the Australian Nugget Kangaroo Gold Coins features Queen Elizabeth II. The coins may display either Raphael Makloufs portrait (1985-1997) or Ian Rank-Broadleys portrait (1998-2018). Inscriptions include ELIZABETH II, AUSTRALIA, and 25 DOLLARS.
Reverse
The reverse side of the Australian Nugget Kangaroo 1/4 oz Gold Coin showcases a kangaroo, one of Australias most well-known animals. Kangaroos are part of Australias coat of arms and other symbols. The designs often highlight the red kangaroo or the western grey kangaroo. Inscriptions include the date, 1/4 OZ 9999 GOLD, and AUSTRALIAN NUGGET.
History
The Australian Nugget-Kangaroo series has seen several changes since its inception in 1986. From 1986 to 1989, the coins featured different gold nugget designs for each weight. In 1990, the series transitioned to the Australian Kangaroo, introducing new kangaroo designs annually. From 1990 to 2008, the coins displayed kangaroos while retaining the Australian Nugget engraving on the reverse.
