The Proclamation of 1800…

Britain struggled to supply any substantial amount of coinage to early colonial Australia, largely due to the tumultuous political situation in Europe. Rum was the colony’s primary medium of exchange, along with promissory notes and a wild mix of foreign currency. Coins from Britain, India, Portugal, the Netherlands and Spain were all used in Britain’s new southern outpost, the only problem being that it was all but impossible to determine their relative worth. Attempting to solve the problem, Governor Philip Gidley King issued the Proclamation of 1800, allotting fixed values to the main coins in use.

The 225th anniversary in 99.99% silver…

The perfect way to celebrate the 225th anniversary of our first currency system, this 99.99% silver coin is a stunning recreation of Spain’s legendary 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 among the world’s most trusted, most widely accepted trade coins. Also known as a ‘Piece of 8’, the Spanish Silver Dollar circulated extensively in the colony, and was listed in Governor King’s Proclamation of 1800 at a value of five shillings.
