Choice Quality Australian Pre-Decimal Notes
Fascinating Unofficial Coinage of Colonial Australia Tokens and their Issuers ~ Highly Collectable Traders tokens provide a remarkable insight into the ingenuity of early Australian merchants. To combat a shortage of small change in the colonies they produced their own unofficial currency. Revealing a clever form of early corporate advertising, tokens are a tremendous collectable series due to the many varieties circulated from the 1840s to 1890s.
