<strong>2004</strong> Eureka Stockade<br />
$1 mintmark coins<br />
15<br />
Our mintmark series has once again proved popular<br />
with collectors. The striking of an extra letter on the<br />
face of the coin adds to the exclusivity of the piece, and<br />
connects it more clearly to a specific place.<br />
The ‘C’ mintmark was first made available on 1 January<br />
<strong>2004</strong> to visitors to the <strong>Mint</strong> Gallery in Canberra.<br />
The Eureka $1 ‘E’ mintmark coin was officially launched<br />
at the Eureka Centre, Ballarat, Victoria on 27 February<br />
<strong>2004</strong>. Built to remember the birthplace of the <strong>Australian</strong><br />
Spirit and all that embodies a ‘fair go’ for all, the Eureka<br />
Centre provides a focus for contemplation and reflection<br />
on a struggle which is widely considered one of the most<br />
significant events in <strong>Australian</strong> history.<br />
The ‘B’ and ‘S’ mintmarks were first made available to<br />
collectors and enthusiasts at the Brisbane ANDA fair in<br />
May and the Sydney <strong>Royal</strong> Easter Show in April.<br />
Each of these intriguing coins is presented in a<br />
customary three panel card, which features a detail of<br />
the painting that inspired the coin design, and a concise<br />
story of the event.<br />
