Struck from 1oz of 99.99% pure silver, this gold-plated 40th Anniversary of the Australian Gold Coin Program coin has been prepared exclusively for ANDA’s Money Expo in Hobart on 11 and 12 April 2026.

Pulled from the archives, the coin’s reverse showcases a design Devlin completed for the original program—yet was never released on a coin. The design depicts the Welcome Stranger, the largest nugget ever recorded. Unearthed by prospectors John Deason and Richard Oates at Moliagul, Victoria in February 1869, their 2,284 ounces find was too large for the scales and had to be broken into three pieces before being weighed.

On the coin's reverse, the nugget is surrounded by a line drawing of the map of Australia and encircled by a ring of stylised sun rays. Within the design is the nugget’s name, and a ‘P40’ mintmark. Also included on the reverse is the inscription ‘THE AUSTRALIAN NUGGET’, together with the weight, purity and 2026 year-date.

The coin is housed in an black striped presentation card with the inscription ‘Hobart Money Expo ANDA Special 2026 1oz Silver Proof Gold-Plated Coin 11-12 April’ and the Australasian Numismatic Dealer’s Association’s logo.
