Wow! Superb Victoria Centennial Florin, Princetane!
I have a full set for 1910:

The 3d and shilling both turned up in dealers' junk trays in England. I got the 6d in 2019 among a lot of around 50 coins I bought for £5 at a junk stall. I bought the florin at a coin shop on my only visit to Brisbane in 2000.

Very impressive Rob, I wish I could find "junk stalls" that sell 50 coins including a 1910 6d for $5!

Instead I am limited to potentially fake florins from Auction houses.

What do you think of a modern British coin of the year, but instead of going back, we start in 1816 and go forward!

Happy to go along with what you suggest. Could I suggest that we have two further days for Australian coins - one for gold pre-1910, and another for Australian and NZ trade tokens and Exonumia?

Totally, my ideas and proposal

March 23rd - 1900s, all gold, tokens, exonumia
24th - 1890s
25th - 1880s
26th - 1870s
27th - 1860s
28th - 1850s and earlier

29th extra day to show any additions of any era

At least a 2 week break before any new threads.

Nice 1910 set princetane.

Are we talking about only minted in Australasia or can it be circulated in australia? And to think that people who got trade token thought they basically got swindled. If only they knew about QE hahaha.

Any token that was either minted in Australia and New Zealand or minted elsewhere but for use in those countries.

One exclusion are British Professor holloway tokens which were widely used in both countries.

Same for medals and exonumia, either minted there or solely for use in those countries.

Nice coins Ryurazu!

My 1900s items

Australian-And-New-Zealand-Coins,-How-Far-Back-Can-We-Go---First-Edition
Australian-And-New-Zealand-Coins,-How-Far-Back-Can-We-Go---First-Edition

My only remaining gold coin, a 1906S gold half sovereign
It is in my storage unit, so an old photograph. Sydney minted so this counts as Australian fair dinkum gold.

Not really a "Gold" collector as I am worried about it attracting theives (Yet 1934 Melbourne Florins and NZ 1935 3ds get a free pass ).

I may buy some more gold coins one of these days - but realistically the price needs to come down and they are not rare like some better silver coins, just really expensive because gold is really expensive

1901 Bronze medal of the visit of the Duke and Duchess of Cornwall to New Zealand (Later George V and Queen Mary, as it was pre Aug 1902, they were not the Yorks or Waleses yet!).

This was locally made and pretty crudely made too, the ship is the HMS Ophir which took them around NZ.

They visited in winter - but the weather was nice as this shot shows.

Yes its deja vu as I posted it all in the HFBCWG thread last year!

Interesting medal, Princetane!

This is my only 1900s Australian gold coin - a 1904-P (Perth) gold sovereign:

Not much to offer here.
I have a 1911 coronation medal.
I think it is silver.
