2 oz. Australian Gold Nugget (Kangaroo)
Bullion Coin

In 1987, 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 the 1 Kilogram gold bulion coins .

In 2009, the Perth Mint stopped producing the 2oz. and 10oz. gold nugget / kangaroo, however, it still mints 1-kilo gold bullion coin.
