The ‘Rum Rebellion’ of 1808 was a clash between elite military and government, as well as between two powerful personalities: John Macarthur and William Bligh. Bligh’s defeat as Governor of New South Wales was in fact the catalyst for the introduction of the rule of law in Australia. This 2019 $5 silver proof coin commemorates Australia’s only successful military coup. Part of the Mutiny and Rebellion series.
