Gold Ounce 2024 Australian Nugget - Welcome, Coin from Australia
CoinGold Ounce 2024 Australian Nugget - Welcome

The Australian one-ounce gold piece (abbreviated as 1 oz and designated with Au for "gold") is a bullion coin format. Uniquely, in Australia there are two mints authorised to strike legal tender: the Royal Australian Mint (which also makes the country's circulating coinage) and the Perth Mint which only makes collector and bullion coins, as well as other bullion products.

Both mints endeavour to create coins with attractive designs, and to introduce new designs and themes often, in order to raise the numismatic value of the coins over the value of previous metal used.

This coin is part of a large series of bullion coins by the Perth Mint featuring famous Australian gold nuggets, and features the Welcome nugget.

The mint says about it:
Welcome was discovered 180 metres underground in 1858 by a party of Cornish miners at Ballarat, Victoria. The world’s largest known nugget at the time, it weighed 69 kilograms and was reported to be of exceptional purity. Sold by the jubilant diggers for just over £10,000, it was eventually melted and turned into gold sovereigns by London’s Royal Mint. Welcome remains the second largest gold nugget ever found (to Welcome Stranger, dug up in Victoria 11 years later).

Originally created for the Australian Nugget 1988 1/2oz proof gold coin, the image of Welcome appears on the new release surrounded by a pattern of radial lines

The reverse of the coin portrays the Welcome nugget on a background of radial lines. In tiny letters in the lower right part of the nugget, the initials of the designer of the original coin series: SD (for Stuart Devlin).

Around below in the central circle, the name of the nugget and the year of its discovery: WELCOME 1858.

Around above in the rim, the name of the coin series: AUSTRALIAN NUGGET. Around below, the date of issue and the precious metal content, 2024 1oz 9999 GOLD (one troy ounce of 99.99% gold). The mint mark of the Pert Mint is near the rim on the right; instead of the usual P, it is P125, marking the 125th anniversary of the mint.
