2020 $10 Eureka! Australia's Gold Rush Gold C Mintmark Coin

The Coin Company is proud to present 2020 $10 Eureka! Australia's Gold Rush Gold C Mintmark Coin

By 1854, there were approximately 5,000 Chinese residents on the goldfields at Bendigo. Despite prevalent anti-Chinese sentiment, many Chinese miners stayed to make their homes in the region.

In 1869, the Bendigo community held the first annual Easter Procession, and two years later, the Chinese community were invited to participate. Gum Loong, the Imperial dragon, was imported from China by the Bendigo Chinese Association to perform dragon dances during the parades. The dance performances raised funds for local charities — a way for the Bendigo Chinese Association to contribute back to the community, and a tangible link with their Chinese heritage.

The contributions made to Australia's development by new and growing communities during the gold rushes, are celebrated in this 2020 $10 Eureka! Australia's Gold Rush Gold C Mintmark Coin.
