Comment
This Fine gold (.999) $10 coin was released by the RAM to commemorate Australia's Gold Rush Era. It was issued in a capsule in a plush case with certificate of authenticity.The Australian gold rushes led to the development of modern Australia, but life on the goldfields could be harsh. The remote desert landscapes of Western Australia needed supplies, and camels were ideal for the job. Camels were imported into Australia by ‘Afghan’ cameleers, and were crucial to WA’s gold industry. We honour the hardy camels and their enterprising cameleers with this 2020 BU Gold Coin.
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 10 Dollars - Elizabeth II (6th Portrait - Eureka! - Gold Proof) 2020 coin from Australia is that it features a unique design that showcases the Eureka! moment, which is a significant event in Australian history. The Eureka Rebellion, also known as the Eureka Stockade, was a pivotal moment in Australia's gold rush history, where a group of miners in Ballarat, Victoria, staged a rebellion against the government's oppressive gold licensing laws. The coin's design captures this moment in history with a depiction of a prospector holding a gold nugget, surrounded by the words "Eureka! I've found it!" in bold letters. This design not only highlights the significance of the Eureka Rebellion but also serves as a symbol of the discovery and prosperity that came with the gold rush era in Australia.
