| Reverse description | At the centre of the reverse, a highly detailed high-relief representation of the 'Welcome Stranger' gold nugget — the largest alluvial gold nugget ever discovered, found in Victoria in 1869 — is depicted against a radiating sunburst pattern that fills the field. The inscription WELCOME STRANGER 1869 appears in the lower field beneath the nugget, while the year of issue is struck at the bottom between two raised dots. The circular legend THE AUSTRALIAN NUGGET 1 OZ. FINE GOLD arcs around the upper and right periphery, and the entire design is enclosed within a beaded border. |
