Very Scarce 1923 South African Proof Set - A superb set of 10 coins struck in the first year of minting at the Pretoria Mint, SA 1923 South African George V Proof Set consisting of Gold Sovereign, Half Sovereign, Silver 2 1/2 Shillings, 2 Shillings (Florin), Shilling, Sixpence, Threepence, Copper Penny, Halfpenny, Farthing (10 coins in total). Following the Anglo-Boer War, South Africa experienced a severe shortage of circulation coins. In 1919, the Mint Act was promulgated and this provided for the establishment of the Royal Mint in Pretoria as a branch of the Royal Mint in London. The Mint opened its doors in 1923 at which time the coins comprising this impressive proof set were struck. The set also features sovereigns, which depict the beautifully classic design of St George and the Dragon on the reverse side. The set comes with the original display case, while the coins are slabbed to preserve their proof condition.
Pictured: Classic St George and the Dragon design shown here on the reverse of the Sovereign and Half Sovereign coins in this set.

This superb example of early Scottish coinage is the ďŹ nest of only three ever seen on the collector market during the past 30 years. The Thistle Noble was minted in 1588, during the period prior to James VI inheriting the throne of England from Elizabeth 1, who died without heirs in 1603. James VI then ruled both Scotland and England from 1603 until his death in 1625 and it is widely considered that the gold coins from this era are some of the most beautiful Scottish currency known. At the time of its mintage the Scottish Thistle Noble was worth 146s 8d or eleven merks. Most Scottish coins were melted down in the 1700s after the union, so mintages are impossible to determine.

In 2007, the Bank of Scotland issued its ďŹ rst new note design since the 1995 Tercentenary series. The ďŹ ve new notes in the series, the 5, 10, 20, 50 and 100 pound notes, all feature the theme of bridges, which is symbolic of internal links within the country and also emphasises Scottish heritage and achievement. The reverse of each note depicts a dierent bridge design including the Falkirk Wheel, which is shown on the reverse of the ÂŁ50 note. Opening in 2002, this is the world’s ďŹ rst and only rotating boat lift. This engineering m a r v e l reconnected the Union Canal with the Forth & Clyde Canal, reestablishing east to west coast access for boats.

Australian Decimal Banknotes In 1966, Australia witnessed the birth of a new banknote currency system, with the $1, $2, $10 and $20 notes being introduced and a year later the $5 note was added. Australia’s ďŹ rst decimal note series is distinguished by the ‘Commonwealth of Australia’ banner. The ďŹ rst decimal series lasted just eight years, until 1974, when the ALP Government modiďŹ ed the ‘Commonwealth’ banner to read ‘Australia’. During this brief period, only the 1966 Coombs/Wilson, 1967 Coombs/Randall, 1969 Phillips/Randall and 1972 Phillips/Wheeler signature combinations were used. tion Liquida tee n a r a Gu
