We specialise in Australian Pre-decimal Coins.

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 eventually disappeared from circulation. English Pre-Decimal coins constantly appeared in change right up until 1966.

In 1966 the imperial coins were replaced with decimal currency.

We currently have in stock a large range of 'trouble free' Australian Pre-decimal and Decimal coins including decimal proof sets. The list includes Australian Penny sets with or without key dates,  and individual Pre-decimal coins in the full range of denomination and 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. As well, we also sell a range of Coin accessories including VST Albums and coin pages. Inquiries are welcome.

We also purchase individual coins and  collections, and are prepared to trade or swap. If you are unable to make a visit. We can send photos of coins you may be interested in acquiring.  We do not run a 'Dutch Auction', and make every effort to be fair, and to trade at reasonable prices.
