2 oz. Gold The Australian Nugget
(Kangaroo)
Bullion Coin

1991 - 2009

In 1986, following the successful release of the 1oz and the fractional-sized Australian Gold Nugget bullion coins, in 1991, the Perth Mint added three more gold coins to the series: the 2oz., 10oz., and 1 kilogram gold bullion coins. 

In 2009, the Perth Mint discontinued the 2oz and 10oz Gold Nugget bullion coins (now known as the Gold Kangaroo); however, the Perth Mint continues to mint the 1-kilo gold bullion coin to this day.
