Welcome Stranger Nugget
The Welcome Stranger gold nugget weighed 3,123 troy ounces and was discovered in a small town in Victoria, Australia back in 1869. It measured approximately 24" by 12". It is the largest gold nugget to have been disovered.
Nuggets or Kangaroos?
The kangaroo coins originally featured famous gold nuggets (As seen with this coin!) on their reverse designs. In 1989, 2 designs were released; one featuring a nugget, the other showing a kangaroo. The Perth Mint decided to stick with the kangaroo designs, and so from 1989 onwards, the coins no longer feature gold nuggets. For this reason the coins are often referred to as 'kangaroos', 'roos' or 'nuggets'.
