Limited edition Eureka Stockade montage

27th February 2004

A limited edition montage of just 150, has been crafted by the Royal Australian Mint to honour the 150th Anniversary of the Eureka Stockade.

The Eureka Montage will be launched on Friday 27 February at 10.30am at the Eureka Centre, Ballarat by Professor Weston Bate OAM, President of the Royal Historical Society Victoria.

The Eureka Montage design has been crafted in consultation with the Eureka Centre and the Ballarat Fine Art Gallery to ensure the historical relevance and significance recreated within the frame. The unique features of the montage include the Eureka $1 Silver Proof Coin and the Eureka $1 mintmark Coin.

An exclusively struck Eureka medallion, each individually hand-polished and strictly limited to the 150 incorporated in the montage design, a gold nugget, sourced from the Ballarat gold fields also features, along with stamps and images, all highlighting aspects of the Eureka Stockade.

The montage will also be on display at the Ballarat Fine Art Gallery and the Royal Australian Mint Gallery, Canberra.

Each limited edition 150 Years Eureka Montage is supplied with the edition number matching the $1 Silver Proof Coin Certificate Authenticity. The certificate is signed by the montage designer and Controller of the Mint.
