2026 AUS 1 oz Silver 40th Ann. of the Nugget Gold-Plated In card

1.0000 troy oz .9999 2026 Brilliant Unc

This striking one-ounce silver coin celebrates a major milestone, marking four decades since a famous Australian coin series first debuted in 1986. Struck from 0.9999 fine silver, the coin features selective gold plating that highlights its intricate details. It was issued specifically as a show special for the Hobart Money Expo by the Perth Mint, with a highly restricted release of only 2,000 pieces. The reverse side showcases the legendary Welcome Stranger Nugget, a design originally created by Stuart Devlin. This side also incorporates the Perth Mint's traditional 'P' mint mark, the year 2026, and details regarding the weight and purity of the precious metal. The inscription 'THE AUSTRALIAN NUGGET' is clearly displayed alongside the central image. On the obverse, the coin bears the modern effigy of His Majesty King Charles III, designed by Dan Thorne. The face value of 1 Dollar is also inscribed on this side, confirming its status as official legal tender. This issue offers a fascinating look at Australian minting history, blending pure silver with a rich golden finish.
