Such was the dearth of coin in England, and so greatly were the few shillings and sixpences circulating depreciated by wear and tear, that the Government was compelled to take steps to remedy matters.

Of these it is shown by a despatch of Governor Iving that £1,200 worth were New South Wales in 1800, and the Governor, hoping to better alleviate local troubles, issued a Proclamation making them current in the Colony and fixing the value of the i oz. piece (the penny) at twopence (No. 821, Plate 61), and making them legal tender to the amount of /5.

something more tangible than the current promissory notes. Forgeries of these notes were plentiful, and persons having no resources
did not hesitate to take advantage of conditions and scattered their paper
money
wherever they could get it accepted, regardless of their inability to redeem their promises. Endless litigation was the result, and so great was the distress arising from the depreciated value of these notes that in 1807, the Governor issued a Proclamation making all paper payable in cash at the established value of current coins.
There was one coin which had almost uni\'ersal circulation throughout the world at this time, and often changed hands at a considerable premium. This was the Spanish Dollar or Piece of 8 Reals. The enormous output of silver from the mines of South America was coined at various mints into this handy form, and the purity of the metal combined with the millions issued soon rendered

The premium on copper coins remained unchanged till December, 1817, when, in deference to the opinions expressed at a public meeting, the Governor ordered that on and after 7th December the officials at the Government Stores should receive depreciated copper coin " at upon and after the rate of an advance of 50 per cent, on the English sterling value."

From this time larger consignments of coin appear to have been received, and many persons arriving as intended settlers bronght out their capital in cash. Between 1830, and 1840, speculation ran riot through the Colony, and everything Drought affecting the back country soon resulted in rose enormously in price. great lessening of stock values, and a corresponding wave of distress passed over the conununity. The population of New South Wales was increasing rapidly in spite of large settlements in the other Colonies, and again (1844, to 1846), we find paper money beginning to circulate for small amounts, though not to the extent experienced in earlier years.

Copper and Bronze Tokens.
WHEN
considering the issue of an illustrated Catalogue of Australasian Tokens and Coins, one of the most important matters requiring decision was whether to follow the example of previous writers on the subject, or to adopt what will probably be thought by some an unwise innovation. It was hoped to produce a volume worthy of the notice of numismatists generally, and which should include all known issues, if possible. Hitherto little attention has been paid to Australasian Tokens by numismatists generally, possibly because it would be natural to conclude that they could not have age to render them interesting, nor have they any great artistic claim to consideration. With the exception of Atkins and Stainsfield, whose publications are nearly or quite forty years old, no one has attempted any detailed description of them, and their lists do not cover half the varieties known. Certainly the outline catalogue of Mr. A. Chitty is more complete as regards numbers, but unfortunately gives but very meagre details. These writers also have all arranged their hsts on the same plan. They kcp the various Colonies or States as they are now denominated separate, place alphabetically the towns in each where tokens were issued, and similarly list the names of issuers in each place. Persons living in and well acquainted with the geography of Australasia have little difficulty in hnding the information they require about any piece, but it seems hardly reasonable to expect that numismatists living on the other side of the world will be sufficiently cognisant of Australian geography to decide in what State to look for, say, " Jamberoo, Kiama, Eaglehawk, Timaru," and many others. Again, there is an important town in New South Wales named " Wellington," and it is known to most that the same name is attached to one of the largest cities of New Zealand. Further, it is well known that practically all Australa'ian Tokens bear the name of the issuer in such form that there can be no doubt as to the person responsible for their redemption. It was considered that it would probably be easier to pick out the name from an alphabetical list than to seek for an obscure township without knowing which State to search. Fortunately, also, there is no clashing of names in the various places.

Basset Hull, about 1893, and made available by the courtesy of Mr. William Dixson, of Sydney, gives a graphic account of some of the difficulties colonial makers met with when first endeavouring to meet a public want without the experience or machinery required. "

to his position
Burra Burra copper mines of South Australia, Peek was enabled to procure a supply of ingots of that metal. These, however, proved of but little use to Thornthwaite, who had no suitable appliance for manufacturing sheet copper from the ingots. They then procured some copper rods of the required size and thickness, and George Parkin, the apprentice, was set to work with a handsaw to cut off the blanks one by one. Needless to say, this proved a very tedious and tiring business. Fortune smiled at last, for they chanced, after manufacturing a few by the above method, to make the acquaintance of an individual in the employ of Mr. John Baptist, the gardener at Surry Hills, who, having had some previous experience, showed them how to cut blanks from sheet copper. The funnel of a discarded steamer as a large shareholder in the

Incapable of giving the necessary force,
they weighted the stamper with some of the copper ingots, but no better results were obtained. They finally had recourse to a drop-hammer worked with a block and pulley, somewhat resembling the machines used on a lareer scale fur driving piles.
This method answered only too well, as
the sharp blow required, but sent the dies flying in

bombarding the inside of the workshop and rendering it somewhat unpleasant and unsafe for the occupants. Such, then, is a short history of the difficulties the first die-sinker of the copper currencies had to contend with, and, taking all in all, the result reflects great credit on his industry and perseverance. The first tokens thus struck comprise those for the Tea Stores (Peek & Co.), Sydney, for Thornthwaite himself, for Allen, of Jamberoo, and for Bell & Gardner, of Rockhampton. Those manufactured for Allen were refused by that trader on account of what he considered their bad workmanship.

With such primitive appliances it can be understood that but very limited numbers could be produced and that the expense would be in proportion. Colonial makers also were handicapped by competition with English firms who, with their extensive plants, thought orders for less than two or three large barrels of tokens at one time of little importance.

The workmanship displayed
in the manufacture of the Australian-made compares badly with the imported article. The English firms, with some of them a centuiy or more of experience to guide them and very extensive connections, could afford to employ well-instructed and capable men to produce their designs, cut the dies and give the proper finish to the completed article, while the colonial maker had to undertake an unaccustomed job with very inferior appliances.

know, however, that he submitted several designs for the Imperial bronze coinage of i860, one of which he used for what is known as " The New Zealand Penny (No. 399). He also used the same design for tokens in other Colonies. There is reason to believe that only about a dozen of these rare pieces were struck, and, as the dies were destroyed in 1886, there is little dangei of re-strikes being produced.

Booth, of Melbourne, and E.De Carle & Co., of Melbourne and Plenty. The ground for thus ascribing them is the exact similarity of the figure of Britannia on the reverse to that on their own issue. The bust is decidedly fuller than on the Heaton issues, the exact regularity of the leaves on the olive branch, three together below, two on each side higher and two at the top, while they are longer and thicker stemmed. The two stones behind the shield are also quite separate. So alike are they that it would appear that the same master die had been used in Pope

Though Coard's name and address, LONDON, appear on the issues of John Andrew & Co., and A. G.

His name does not appear in Forrer's " Biographical Dictionary of Medalhsts," and inquiry by Dr. Roth and another over twenty years ago satisfied them that he merely obtained orders in Australia and had them executed by Taylor.

The golden fleece also runs through the series and is found alone on the issues of DAVIES, ALEXANDER & Co. {No. 95), and E. F. DEASE (No. 99). The ox was soon replaced by a wheatsheaf, probably indicating that in the eyes of city people the farming was more important than the pastoral interest. The anchor was also replaced by a pick and shovel, whole

In No. 360 we have a supposed representation of Peace in a very benign-looking female facing front, an olive branch in the right hand, the left resting on the head of a lamb, while from behind her on the right side a most benevolent-looking lion round above is PEACE & PLENTY, indicative of a lively hope is emerging, Then we have Stokes' series of vine branches with the motto of future blessings.

On the BEAVEN piece (No. 42), the scroll, strangely enough, bears the legend ADVANCE AUSTRALIA, hardly to be expected on a New Zealand issue. On No. 501 we have the ship in the upper left corner, a fleece on the right, the pick and shovel on the left below, and the wheatsheaf on the right.

In those he made for FLAVELLE BROS., Coard in JOHN ANDREW & Co. and (No. 132), it is slightly curved upwards. A. G. HODGSON (Nos. 13 and 257), shows a broader base and the ears of the kangaroo exaggerated in size. With Stokes, in those made for COLLINS & Co.

Several varieties of Nos. 632-3-4 have been described by collectors generally depending on slight differences in the shape and size of the letters and bars, but all appear to have been the result of the manner of striking. which is believed to have been by means of a drop hammer. A careful examination of very many specimens has shown that all havt- one thing in common and that is a flaw connecting the C of AI)\'.\NCK with the inner circle. Tliis would indicate that the variations are due U> the mode of manufacture entirely. Sec Illustration of No. 634 on PI. 50. 635.*

This piece is mentioned in the Berliner MuntzUaUer as having been the Heuzenroeder Collection, and there marked as of the value of 4 pence. It is exactly the same size as Nos. 692 and 693, but has no indication of value on it. It has been suggested that the Heuzonroeder piece was one of the above, as they have the edge roughly milled. This would render it more easily passed for the then current groat or fourpence which was milled, and thereby distinguished easily from the threepence. This latter coin was first struck for ordinary currency in 1845, and was only tardily displacing the fourpence in the favour of the public. The latter has long disappeared from circulation, and none have been struck since 1856.

On

House and there examined and counted by a committee consisting of William Hroughton, Acting Commissary; H. C. Antill, Major of Brigade; and Thomas Archer, Acting Deputy Commissary.
By direction of Governor Macquarie, these dollars were cut and rcstamped by William Henshall, making " Holey Dollars and Dumjjs." In one of Macquarie's despatches (Hist. Rec, \'()1. 7, p. 722) he mentions that the " machine for stamping, milling, and cutting out the centre was made in

Macquarie's Proclamation fixed the 30th September, 1813, as the date on which the dollars and dumps should be issued, but from evidence given before Commissioner Bigge it is shown that after being made they remained in the Governor's possession till the Deputy Commissary General David Allan demanded them early in 1814.

"
About the end of the year 1852, or the beginning of 1853, news reache 1 tliat owing to the scarcity of gold coin and the large quantity of the precious metal already discovered, Ballarat gold dust was selling on the fields for £2 15s. an ounce. The idea of the promoters of this office was to start a large store in Melbourne, buy up the dust at the above price, and with it strike their own gold pieces of 2, i, ^ and ^ oz., which in the course of their business they proposed rendering current respectively at £8, £4, £2 and £1. With this object in view, Messrs. Hodgkin, Taylor and Tyndall chartered a full rigged ship, the Kangaroo,' of 600 tons, which with a cargo of colonial stores, arrived at Hobson's Bay on the 23rd of October, 1853. As managers of the store they sent out Messrs. Rignold Scaife and Morgan Brown with them they brought the necessary dies which had been cut by W. J. Taylor, the machinery and stamping press. This last, however, proved too heavy an encumbrance, for when once the press itself had been landed on the wharf, no available assistance could be obtained for the purpose of removing it to their store the so-called Kangaroo Office which was situated near the flagstaff, at near, or in the present Franklin-street West. Indeed, it was fully six months before the whole machinery was fixed up and in full working order; but by this time there was a glut of English sovereigns in the Melbourne banks, and the price of gold went up to £4 4s. an oz. luigland
'

The whole affair collapsed, and instructions having been received from the promoters in London to sell all up, the managers attempted to realise whatever they could. Already over £13,000 had been invested in the ship and stores concerned. Mr. Scaife, the senior manager, sent a lot of machinery and cUes home the remainder, together with the press he sold through Lloyd, his agent to Stokes (Martin & Stokes) of Melbourne, where it is being used up

The necessary delay while the Home Authorities were considering, with an accentuation of the local trouble, led to the South Austli-alian action, as above mentioned. The Home Authorities evidently thought the matter worthy of very grave and especially the question whether one Mint in Sydney would not be sufficient to meet the difficulty and avoid the expense of several establishments. The intention then was merely to mint gold coins to supply the local wants of Australia, and render the gold more easily marketable elsewhere, though there was no Under intention of making the coins legal currency outside of New South Wales. a Proclamation by the Queen, and an Order-in-Council dated 19th .\ugust, 1853, the Sydney Mint was decided on, though not brought into action till May, 1855. consideration,

The Sydney coins were not accepted as legal tender outside the limits of New South Wales, and consequently much dissatisfaction and trouble was caused by their circulation in other colonies.
