2013 Australian Mining Proof 2 Coin Set

Gold, the siren song of prosperity, drew migrants from Europe, North America and China, boosting Australia’s population from 430 000 to over a million people in just a decade. From these beginnings grew a mining industry that constitutes more than five per cent of Australia’s gross domestic product today. With its commemorative 20c and $1 coin this two coin Proof Set symbolises the growth of Australian mining from its humble origins during the nation’s infancy.
