1.0000 troy oz .9999 1988 Brilliant Unc

This impressive gold coin from 1988 celebrates one of the most remarkable treasure finds in history. Struck in a full troy ounce of exceptionally pure 0.9999 fine gold, the piece serves as a tribute to the legendary Welcome Stranger gold nugget, which was originally unearthed in the year 1869. This specific release had a mintage of 128,461 pieces. The reverse side of the coin displays a detailed representation of the massive Welcome Stranger nugget itself, a design created by Dr. Stuart Devlin. On the obverse, the portrait of Queen Elizabeth II is featured alongside the official face value of 100 Dollars. As a sovereign issue backed fully by the Australian government, this brilliant uncirculated coin represents a fascinating intersection of natural history and master minting.
