2020 $1 Eureka! Australia's Gold Rush Mintmark & Privy Four Coin Set

The Coin Company is proud to present 2020 $1 Eureka! Australia's Gold Rush Mintmark & Privy Four Coin Set, produced by the Royal Australian Mint to celebrate an unexpected hero of the gold rush:the hardy camel, an animal imported to Australia by enterprising 'Afghan' cameleers, responsible for bringing water and supplies to remote miners and settlers in places unreachable by horses.

Camels were ideal animals for the vast distances of Western and South Australia. They travelled well in a desert climate, could manage for a long time without water, and could feed on the scrubby local vegetation. They were able to carry large amounts, and soon became invaluable for hauling food, water and equipment to prospecting sites.

Coin highlights:

• Third release of the Colonial Australia theme
• Set contains 'C' Mintmark and 'S', 'M' and 'B' Privy Mark coins
• Limited mintage of 15,000 sets
• Australian legal tender
