Australia First Nugget Replica Golden Eagle 2024 $25 Gilded 1/4oz Gold Proof Coin

A unique tribute to one of the most iconic gold nuggets found on Australian soil, we are delighted to present the Perth Mint’s First Nugget Golden Eagle 2024 $25 Gilded 1/4oz Gold Proof Coin!

Notable for its remarkable similarity to the classic bird of prey, the Golden Eagle was found in January 1931 approximately 630km east of Perth, Western Australia, by 17-year-old Jim Larcombe, the son of prospector James Larcombe. The largest confirmed gold find in Australia during the 20th century, this mighty nugget weighed in at a whopping 1,136 ounces!

In 1986, the Perth Mint issued the first coins in its Gold Nugget Coin Series, including a tribute to the Golden Eagle designed by numismatic master craftsman Stuart Devlin the man who designed Australia’s original decimal coins. Struck from 1/4oz of 99.99% gold and selectively-plated in 22-carat rose gold, this new tribute to the Golden Eagle bears a motif based on Devlin’s original design!
