Story

Historic gold coins

The Australian Nugget was the first legal tender gold coin program to be manufactured by The Perth Mint since the cessation of sovereign production in 1931. Debuting in 1986, the original coins were struck in four denominations with artistic representations of historic Australian natural gold nuggets by world-renowned goldsmith and numismatic designer Stuart Devlin.

Golden Eagle design

The coin depicts Golden Eagle, a 1,136oz nugget bearing a remarkable resemblance to a bird of prey which was discovered in January 1931 about 630 kilometres east of Perth. Within the design a circular area gilded in 22-carat rose gold encompasses symbolic sun rays, the nugget’s name, and a ‘P125’ mintmark. Also included on the reverse is the inscription ‘THE AUSTRALIAN NUGGET’, together with the weight and 2024 year-date.
