2019 $1 Australian Bushrangers The Bold The Bad and The Ugly 'C' Mintmark Silver Proof Coin

Colonial Australia was a dangerous place, with renegades known as bushrangers roaming the roads and towns. In the 1860s, drover Frederick Ward and his Aboriginal partner, Mary Ann Bugg, carried out a bold bushranging spree that took them from the Hunter Valley to the Queensland border. Known as 'Captain Thunderbolt' and 'The Captain's Lady'; Ward and Bugg attracted public sympathies for their gallantry and acts of daring. This coin recalls the bushrangers whose exploits created Australian legends.
