| Reverse description | A high-relief representation of the Welcome Stranger nugget, the largest alluvial gold nugget ever found, depicted centrally against a radiating sunburst background that fills the field. The nugget's irregular, craggy surface is rendered with fine sculptural detail. The curved legend 'AUSTRALIAN NUGGET' arcs around the upper periphery, while the lower portion of the field carries the inscriptions '2019 1 OZ 9999 SILVER' flanking the text 'WELCOME STRANGER 1869', which identifies the historical nugget and its discovery year. The Perth Mint's 'P' mintmark appears at the right, near the rim. |

| Additional information |
The Australian Nugget bullion series, originally launched by the Perth Mint in 1987 featuring gold nuggets, expanded into silver with rotating nugget designs — each annual release depicting a different historically significant Australian gold find. The series trades on Australia's gold rush heritage, when discoveries like the Welcome Stranger in 1869 briefly made the colony the world's largest gold producer.
Perth Mint's .9999 fineness on silver is stricter than the .999 standard used by most competing sovereign mints, a deliberate commercial differentiator maintained consistently across the program.
