Celebrating a key landmark in our numismatic history, we are delighted to present this sparkling 99.99% silver tribute to Australia’s first official currency system – the Proclamation of 1800!
The Proclamation of 1800…
As a result of ongoing tumult in Europe, it proved difficult for Britain to supply any significant amount of coinage to early colonial Australia. Rum emerged as the primary medium of exchange, along with often worthless promissory notes, and a wild mix of foreign currency. Coins from such places as far-flung as Britain, India, Portugal, the Netherlands and Spain all found their way to Britain’s new southern outpost, but it was but impossible to determine their relative worth. In a bid to fix the problem, Governor Philip Gidley King issued the Proclamation of 1800, assigning fixed values to the main coins then in use.
The 225th anniversary is sparkling 99.99% silver…
A spectacular way to mark the 225th anniversary of Australia’s first currency system, this sparkling 99.99% silver Proof is a breathtaking recreation of the famous Spanish Silver ‘Pillar’ Dollar. Famous as the origin for the $ sign, inspired by the S-shaped configuration of the banners around the Pillars of Hercules, the Spanish Silver Dollar was one of the world’s most trusted trade coins. Also known as a ‘Piece of 8’, the coin naturally made its way to Britain’s new colony, and was listed in Governor King’s Proclamation of 1800 at a value of five shillings.
