Taking you on a journey back to the boom-time of Roaring 20s Australia, we are proud to present the Australia 1920s Coin & Banknote Commemorative Portfolio.

With Australia looking to leave the hardships of wartime behind, the 1920s was a time of great promise. Known as The Roaring Twenties, it was a period when the ongoing development of an internationally recognised, truly independent Australian nation could take place. Industry, technology, fashion, entertainment, transportโ€ฆthis was a moment in Australian history when people from all walks of life embraced the concept of change.

Offering you a pathway to the past, this historic release comprises examples of two of the most iconic, most sought after Australian currency issues of the era. Scarce in any grade, with nearly a century having passed since first issued, the 1927 Riddle/Heathershaw ยฃ1 banknote is presented in Fine to Very Fine condition. Australiaโ€™s first commemorative and arguably most beautiful coin, the accompanying 1927 Canberra Florin is graded Very Fine.

The perfect environment for issues of such unquestionable historic importance, the Australia 1920s Coin & Banknote Commemorative Portfolio will impress any collector. A fantastic way for you to enjoy these important Roaring 20s types, the 1927 Riddle/Heathershaw ยฃ1 banknote and 1927 Canberra Florin are beautifully presented within a superbly illustrated, richly informative hardback portfolio.

1927 ยฃ1 R26 Riddle/Heathershaw Fine to Very Fine

Issued in limited numbers to accommodate a small Australian population, the 1927 ยฃ1 Riddle/Heathershaw note is scarce in all grades. The low denomination ยฃ1 had a high circulation rate, and according to a Treasury report, was on average withdrawn from circulation after about 15 months in the 1920s. As a result, the 1927 ยฃ1 Riddle/Heathershaw is tough-to-find today.

1927 Canberra Florin Very Fine

The opening of the first Federal Parliament buildings in Canberra in 1927 was important enough to inspire Australiaโ€™s first commemorative coin โ€“ the 1927 Canberra Florin. Struck at the Melbourne branch of the Royal Mint, with the mintage restricted to just two million, this unique, one-year-only type is widely considered to be Australiaโ€™s most beautiful coin.
