The 1988 Gold Nugget produced by the distinguished Perth Mint, in Australia.
Also referred to as ‘Gold Kangaroos’ due to the image changing in 1990. Coins published from that date on, have been struck with the iconic Australian animal. It’s one of the few legal tender coins that change their image annually.
