Australia's First Gold Rush 175th Anniversary 2026 1/4oz Gold Proof Coin

A more accessible entry point into this prestigious commemorative series, without compromising on quality or collectability. Struck in 99.99% pure gold to mark 175 years since Edward Hargraves' discovery at Ophir ignited Australia's first gold rush, this 1/4oz proof coin carries the same richly detailed reverse design, a map of Australia pinpointing Ophir, framed by the iconic crossed shovel and pickaxe, and surrounded by the scenes of goldfields life.

Limited to an issue of just 375, it is a significant piece of Australian history in a beautifully compact format.
