| Beschrijving keerzijde | Central design featuring a hand raised aloft grasping a gold nugget, symbolising the miners' defiance during the 1854 Eureka Stockade rebellion. Behind the central motif, the Eureka Flag is depicted in pad-printed colour — a blue field bearing a white Southern Cross and diagonal cross in the style of the historic banner raised at Ballarat. The inscription EUREKA STOCKADE and the date 2004 appear in the legend, commemorating the 150th anniversary of the event. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Eureka Stockade of December 1854 was the closest Australia came to armed revolution — miners on the Ballarat goldfields, fed up with punishing licence fees and corrupt enforcement, burned their licences, built a stockade, and raised the Southern Cross flag as a declaration of defiance. Government troopers crushed it within minutes on the morning of the 3rd, killing at least twenty-two miners. The political fallout was swift: the licence system was abolished, miners gained the vote, and the episode entered radical labor mythology almost immediately.
The pad-printing process used here — applying colour directly to the coin face — was relatively novel for the Royal Australian Mint in 2004 and left these pieces poorly suited to circulation handling.
