| Reverse description | The reverse features a highly detailed relief depiction of the Hand of Faith gold nugget, the largest gold nugget ever found by a metal detector, discovered in Victoria, Australia in 1980. The nugget is shown centrally within a radiating sunburst pattern, conveying the lustrous character of natural gold. A beaded border frames the design, with the circular legend 'THE AUSTRALIAN NUGGET' and '1/2 OZ. FINE GOLD' arranged around the upper and right periphery. The year of issue appears at the base of the design, with the nugget's name and discovery year 'HAND OF FAITH 1980' inscribed below the central motif. |
