In 1969 in Moliagul, a small township located in Victoria, Australia, a golden nugget was unearthed by two lucky prospectors. The nugget weighed an astounding 3,123 ounces or 241 pounds and was discovered a mere 3 centimeters below the earth’s surface! The nugget made headlines around the world and is understood to be the largest gold nugget ever discovered and was named the “Welcome Home Stranger.” In 2011, the Perth mint immortalized this nugget and cast its likeness on a limited edition 9999 pure gold coin. This limited edition, proof coin, is made available to you for the best price online!

Illustrated on the reverse is the legendary, welcome stranger golden nugget, surrounded by lines that are reminiscent of sun rays. The inscription, “Welcome Stranger 1869,” is seen below with the Perth Mint, “P,” which is an added security feature. “The Australian Nugget,” in addition to the purity, year of issue, and denomination, are all included in the ring, which encapsulates the nugget.

The obverse contains the contemporary effigy of her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, designed by famed English sculptor Ian Rank-Broadley, with her title, the nation of issue, and the 100 dollars denominational value.

Coins with limited mintage figures such as this 1 oz proof, maintain collector appeal for its numismatic value as well as it’s precious metal content. Welcome a 1 oz 2011 Australian Nugget Proof Gold Coin to your holdings today!

ABOUT THE PERTH MINT

The Perth Mint opened in 1899 as the British Royal Mint's 3rd branch in Australia. The historical Hay Street location handled gold refining until moving to a modern facility in April 1990. Ownership of the mint was transferred to the Government of Western Australia in July of 1970. Under an agreement with the Commonwealth Treasury, they were empowered to mint and market gold, silver, and platinum as Australian legal tender to investors and collectors worldwide. Today, they are amongst the elite world mints whose pure gold, silver, and platinum items are trusted without question. Items such as the Australian Nugget, Silver Coin Series (Kangaroo, Kookaburra, Koala, and Platypus to name a few), as well as the Australian Lunar Gold and Silver Coin Series are extensively sought after by bullion investors worldwide.
