Red Kangaroos
A male Red Kangaroo (Buck) can grow to 6 feet (1.8m) tall whilst the females (Doe) typically grow 4-5 feet (1.22m-1.52m) tall. They can reach speeds of up to 40 miles per hour (64 kilometres per hour) and can cover 25 feet (7.6 meters) in a single leap!
Why is the Nugget popular?
The Gold Nugget coin series was first introduced in 1986 as a competitor to other Countries coins such as the Maple, Krugerrand and Britannia.
The design was one of the first bullion coins to include a '2 tone' frosted effect. This meant that the foreground of the coin was almost matte, and the monarch/nugget had an almost mirror effect. Making way for a new technique within the Bullion game.
Legacy of the Gold Nuggets Series
The series originally had famous gold nuggets discovered in Australia originally on the reverse but switched to kangaroos in 1990. The 2 oz bullion coin's all have the Red Kangaroo on the reverse, the 2 oz bullion coin were minted from 1991-2009. This was the first 2 oz bullion coin released in the series.
