One of my New Year 2020 goals is to bring you along my journey to complete ONE tube of fractional gold coins.
I started the year adding a 6 gram Mene 24K Gold Cross to my 24K gold and platinum bracelet of charms.
I just received my first order of fractional gold coin!

Reverse
The 1990 design created by Stuart Devlin that launched the Australian Kookaburra series is featured on the reverse of these 2020 Australian Kookaburra 1/10 oz Gold Coins. In this design, a lone kookaburra sits amidst the foliage perched on the stump of a fallen tree. Inscriptions on this side include a dual date mark of 1990 and 2020, as well as Australian Kookaburra, 1/10 oz 9999 Gold, and the P mintmark of the Perth Mint.
Obverse
Queen Elizabeth II is depicted on the obverse of 2020 Australian Kookaburra 1/10 oz Gold Coins. Here, the Queen is featured in right-profile relief wearing the George IV State Diadem crown, earrings, and the Victorian coronation necklace. For the first time since 1966, an Australian coin portrait of Her Majesty includes her neckline and shoulders. Inscriptions include Elizabeth II, Australia, and 15 Dollars.
To prepare to put the gold on the tube, I transferred the gold coin into an airtite capsule that is the same diameter as the capsule tube. This is what I have done for all the other fractional gold coins that I have.
And now it is ready to be kept inside this unassuming wooden box!
The other tube is to hold the empty airtites and for visualization purposes.Come along with me in my journey to complete a tube of fractional gold coins!
