| Reverse description | The reverse features a highly detailed high-relief depiction of the 'Little Hero' gold nugget, discovered in Victoria, Australia in 1890, rendered in three-dimensional sculptural form at the centre of the field. Radiating sunburst lines emanate from behind the nugget across the entire field, creating a dynamic background texture. The legend AUSTRALIAN NUGGET arcs along the upper periphery, while the name LITTLE HERO 1890 is inscribed in a concave border band below the central device. The lower border carries the date 2022, the weight and fineness designation 1oz 9999 SILVER, and the Perth Mint's P mintmark appears to the right. The designer's initials SD are visible beneath the nugget. |
