$1 2020 Eureka Mintmark/Privymark 4 Coin UNC Set
The discovery of gold in Australia set off a wild chain of events that ultimately led to Federation and the development of modern Australia. An unexpected hero of the gold rush was 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.
