Gold Twentieth-Ounce 1999 Australian Nugget - Grey Kangaroo, Coin from Australia
CoinGold Twentieth-Ounce 1999 Australian Nugget - Grey Kangaroo

The Australian twentieth-ounce gold piece (abbreviated as 1/20 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 the Australian Nugget bullion series by the Perth Mint, and features a Grey Kangaroo on the reverse.

Obverse
Australia / Gold Twentieth-Ounce 1999 Australian Nugget - Grey Kangaroo - obverse photo

The obverse of the coin shows the crowned mature head of Queen Elizabeth II facing right (her effigy known as the "Fourth Portrait"). The Queen wears the "Girls of Great Britain and Ireland" diamond tiara, a wedding gift from Queen Mary (Her Majesty's grandmother) in 1947 - which she also has on the Machin and the Gottwald portraits.

In small letters below the head, the artist's initials IRB (for Ian Rank-Broadley).

Around the effigy is the monarch's legend and the face value: ELIZABETH II AUSTRALIA · 5 DOLLARS ·.

Obverse Inscription ELIZABETH II AUSTRALIA · 5 DOLLARS ·
Reverse

Around above, the name of the series and the precious metal content: THE AUSTRALIAN NUGGET 1/20 OZ. 9999 GOLD.

Around below, the date of issue 1999.
