Originally issued as the Australian Gold Nugget, the series featured depictions of famous Australian gold nuggets from 1986 to 1989. However, recognizing the international appeal of the kangaroo, the Perth Mint transitioned to the Australian Kangaroo design in 1990, solidifying its place as an iconic representation of Australia’s rich gold heritage.
