10 oz. Australian Gold Nugget (Kangaroo) Bullion Coin

1991 - 2009

In 1986, following the successful release of the 1oz and the fractional-sized Australian Gold Nugget bullion coins, the Perth Mint added in 1991 three more gold coins to the series: the 2oz., 10oz., and 1 kilogram gold bullion coins. 

In 2009, the Perth Mint discontinued the 2oz. and 10oz. Gold Nugget bullion coins (now known as the Gold Kangaroo); however, the Perth Mint continues to mint the 1-kilo gold bullion coin to this day.

Design of the
10 oz. Australian Gold Nugget
(Kangaroo) Bullion Coin

Obverse

The obverse side displays the profile of Queen Elizabeth II, designed by Ian Rank-Broadley and struck in proof-like quality.

Inscriptions:

• ELIZABETH II
• AUSTRALIA
• • 1000 DOLLARS •  (face value)
  

Note: 1991 was the first year the gold 10oz. size of the Australian Gold Nugget bullion coin was released.

For that first year the 10 oz. bullion coin had the face value of "2500 DOLLARS." Starting in 1992 to the present day, the gold 10 oz. bullion coin has had the face value of "1000 DOLLARS."

Reverse

The reverse of the 10oz. gold bullion coin displays the classic artistry of the iconic bounding red kangaroo surrounded by rays of sunlight.

Inscriptions:

• THE AUSTRALIAN NUGGET
• weight of "10 OZ."
  
• purity of "9999 GOLD"
  
• • 2000 •  (Year of Issue)
  

The Edge of the gold bullion coin is reeded.

In 2008, the Perth Mint officially changed the name of the gold bullion coin from "The Australian Nugget" to "The Australian Kangaroo."
