About The 1/2oz Australian Nugget Coin

Since its early mintage years, an annual design change has been applied to the reverse of these coins affectionately known as 'Gold Kangaroos'. This has greatly enhanced the collectability of the Half Australian Nugget over the years as enthusiasts seek to complete their collection of marsupials.

No less impressive is the specifications of the coin. Each possesses 0.500 troy ounce of pure Australian gold, achieved through striking the coin in 24ct pure gold alloy. A benefit of the Half Nugget is its smaller profile, as it measures 25.10 millimetres in diameter.
