1989 Australia 1/10 oz Proof Gold Nugget
In 1989, Australia issued a stunning tenth-ounce gold coin as part of its celebrated Gold Nugget series. This particular release is struck in a proof finish, highlighting the meticulous craftsmanship of the Perth Mint. Backed by the Australian government, the coin is composed of 0.9999 fine gold and carries a face value of 15 Dollars. The reverse of the coin showcases a lively depiction of a hopping Red Kangaroo, a design created by Dr. Stuart Devlin. The artistry captures the iconic marsupial mid-stride, surrounded by inscriptions that celebrate the nation's unique wildlife. On the obverse, the right-facing portrait of Queen Elizabeth II is displayed, accompanied by the year of issue and the monetary denomination. With a limited mintage of just 7,725 pieces, this coin remains a fascinating specimen of Australian numismatic artistry.
