Bernhardt Holtermann

Bernhardt Otto Holtermann (29 April 1838 – 29 April 1885) was a German-born Australian gold miner, businessman, politician and photographer. Perhaps his greatest claim to fame is his association with the Holtermann Nugget, the largest gold specimen ever found, 59 inches (1.5 m) long, weighing 630 pounds (290 kg) and with an estimated gold content of 3,000 troy ounces (93 kg), found at Hill End, near Bathurst, New South Wales. This gave him the wealth to build a mansion in North Sydney.
