Prior to 1910  English coin including Gold Sovereigns and half Sovereigns were used as the accepted currency in Australia . As well as in Britain, Sovereigns  were also minted in  several Australian cities with gold from the Australian gold fields. These along with small denomination English coins, were the currency of the day in Australia.

In 1910 the first Australian coins were minted, they consisted of the silver florin, shilling, sixpence and threepence. In 1911  the penny and halfpenny were introduced. In 1937 & 1938 silver Crowns valued at five shilling were issued. Because of their size they proved to be unpopular and disappeared from circulation. English coins constantly appeared in change right up until 1966.

In 1966 the imperial coins were replaced with decimal currency.

We currently have in stock Australian Pre-decimal and Decimal coins to offer. The list includes Australian Penny sets with or without key dates, Proof sets and individual coins in a range of conditions, including most scarce and rare dates. There is also a variety of English colonial coins used in early settlement, some ancient coins, and a number other world coins of interest. Inquiries are very welcome. 

I  purchase coins and coin collections, and am also prepared to do a trade-ins.

If you are unable to make a visit. I can send photos of coins you may be interested in purchasing.

I make an effort to be fair, I do not sell on E bay and I do not run a 'Dutch Auction'.

Please don't hesitate if you have any  question to discuss.
