$5 2019 Eureka Stockade 1oz Silver Proof
The goldfields of Victoria in the 1850s were a rough place. Miners clashed with police as the government enforced unsustainably harsh fees and restrictions. A potential uprising brewed. In November 1854 rebellious miners under their leader Peter Lalor erected a wooden stockade on teh goldfields of Ballarat and unfurled their newly created Eureka Flag.
The Eureka flag that flew above a wooden stockade on the goldfields of Ballarat Victoria is hailed by many Australians as the symbol of an uprising that led to a more egalitarian democracy.
To commemorate this event the Royal Australian Mint has struck a 2019 al/bronze uncirculated $1 and $5 silver proof.
