Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1986-1989 Australian Nugget 50 Dollar Gold Bullion Coin is that it features a unique design that showcases a kangaroo, which is a symbol of Australia, surrounded by a stylized boomerang. The boomerang is a traditional Aboriginal hunting weapon, and its inclusion in the design adds a touch of cultural significance to the coin.

The coin's design, along with its gold content and limited mintage, make it a highly sought-after collector's item.
