1998 Australia 1/2 oz Gold Nugget BU
Struck by the Perth Mint, this 1998 gold coin represents a continuation of a celebrated Australian numismatic tradition. The series first emerged in 1987, initially celebrating natural gold nuggets before transitioning to showcase the continent's most famous marsupial. A key appeal of this particular series is the decision to update the kangaroo imagery annually, offering a fresh artistic perspective with each passing year. This specific release contains one half ounce of 99.99 percent pure gold. The reverse of the coin displays a pair of kangaroos in a natural setting, capturing the spirit of the Australian outback. On the obverse, the profile of Queen Elizabeth II is accompanied by the face value of 50 Dollars, identifying it as official legal tender backed by the government of Australia.
