2021 Australia $25 1/4-oz Gold 35th Anniversary Kangaroo Nugget Proof

Hop On Board the Gold Nugget’s 35th Anniversary

In 1987, the Perth Mint launched a new gold bullion series, the Australian Gold Nugget. The wonderful coin with its gleaming amber color featured an iconic image of the famous “Welcome Stranger” gold nugget discovered in 1869 during the Australian Gold Rush. Since then, the coin has undergone a design change that now features one of the most famous critters from the Land Down Under: a jumping Red Kangaroo! With 2021 marking the 35th year that Australia has struck coins for its Gold Nugget Series, The Perth Mint has added to its triumphant legacy with this incredible 35th Anniversary Kangaroo Nugget Proof!

Design Features Essential Essence of the Nugget Series

Struck in a quarter-ounce of 99.99% pure gold, this absolutely fabulous coin captures the essential essence of the Nugget series with a bold design that shows a representation of artist Stuart Devlin’s red kangaroo. The long-legged marsupial is surrounded by symbolic rays of the sun, the number 35, and a small representation of the world-famous Welcome Stranger gold nugget. An inscription on the coin reads “AUSTRALIAN NUGGET 1986 – 2021.” The Perth Mint’s famous “P” mintmark can also be clearly seen.

A Tribute to the Australian Gold Rush

During the heyday of the Australian Gold Rush era of the late 1800s, old timers used to regale tenderfoots with tales about gold nuggets being so big that prospectors were known to trip over them. But these stories were not just mere hogwash conjured up around the campfire to tease novice gold seekers — some of these stories were the God’s honest truth! Take the discovery of the “Welcome Stranger” nugget: Weighing in at more than 145 pounds, it was — and still is — the world’s largest alluvial gold nugget ever found!
