2019 Eureka Stockade $1 MS68
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.
