During the 1800s and early 1900s, the discovery of gold around the world drove civilisation to further and further flung locations. Here in Australia, the influx of immigrants from abroad (and from other local colonies) was tremendous to the various new sites found in the fledgling nation. But, of course, these events, this furore, it happened elsewhere too - South Africa Canada, California... all experienced the peaks and troughs caused by the lure of the gold fields...
Celebrating those grand discoveries, and maybe even the cityscapes that were forged out of concrete as a result, this 50 gram, 50mm, 99.9% pure silver coin features an old time miner - perhaps a '49er? Or perhaps he's on the shore of a creek outside Bendigo...
Limited to just 500 struck.
