2019 Australia 1 oz Gold "Welcome Stranger" Nugget BU
2019 Australia 1 oz Gold "Welcome Stranger" Nugget BU
In 1869, prospectors in Australia unearthed the Welcome Stranger, which remains the most massive alluvial gold nugget ever recorded. To mark the 150th anniversary of this monumental find, a special commemorative coin was minted in 2019. Struck from one troy ounce of 99.99 percent pure gold, this piece celebrates a legendary moment in gold-rush history. The reverse side of the coin displays a detailed depiction of the famous nugget itself. Surrounding the central image are inscriptions that read "Welcome Stranger 1869" alongside the 2019 issue date, the weight, the purity, and the "P" mint mark representing the Perth Mint. On the obverse, the coin features the portrait of Queen Elizabeth II designed by Jody Clark, along with the official face value of 100 Dollars. Backed by the Australian government as legal tender, this issue was limited to a mintage of just 7,500 pieces, making it a fascinating study for those intrigued by historic treasure discoveries and fine gold craftsmanship.
