Total Mintage Strictly Limited to Only 2,000 Coins Worldwide

Celebrate two golden milestones in Australian numismatics with this exclusive 2026 Hobart Money Expo ANDA Show Special from The Perth Mint. Marking the 40th anniversary of the iconic Australian Nugget gold coin program (launched in 1986), this stunning 1oz silver proof coin is selectively gold-plated in 24-carat gold and issued as a limited-edition event exclusive. It honours the legendary Welcome Stranger — the largest gold nugget ever recorded in Australia — which was discovered in 1869 at Moliagul, Victoria, weighing an incredible 2,284 ounces.

The reverse dramatically portrays the Welcome Stranger nugget in radiant gold plating, set against a radiant sunburst and a fine line drawing of the Australian map, encircled by stylised sun rays. It features the nugget’s name, a special “P40” mintmark, and the inscriptions “THE AUSTRALIAN NUGGET”, weight, purity, and 2026 year-date. The obverse carries the elegant Dan Thorne effigy of His Majesty King Charles III with “AUSTRALIA” and the $1 denomination. Presented in a specially designed card highlighting the 11–12 April 2026 Hobart Money Expo dates, this show special is only available through ANDA member dealers or by attending the event live in Hobart.

A premium, low-mintage show exclusive that perfectly blends Australian gold-rush history with modern proof craftsmanship — ideal for serious collectors and ANDA enthusiasts.
