Comment
The Rum Rebellion of 1808 was provoked by the clash of two strong personalities, the ambitious ex-military John Macarthur, and the cantankerous governor William Bligh. Bligh's attempt to break the economic stranglehold of the powerful 'Rum Corps' in the fledgling colony of New South Wales led to Australia's only successful military coup. These events came to a head on 26th January 1808. This date is celebrated every year and is known as Australia Day although not for this reason.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it commemorates the 200th anniversary of the Rum Rebellion, a significant event in Australian history that took place in 1808. The Rum Rebellion was a rebellion by the New South Wales Corps against Governor William Bligh, who had attempted to curb the power of the rum trade and corruption in the colony. The rebellion ultimately led to the overthrow of Governor Bligh and the establishment of a new government in New South Wales. The coin's design features a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II on one side and a depiction of the Rum Rebellion on the other, making it a unique and interesting collector's item for anyone interested in Australian history.
