ElleKitty Pillar of the Community United States 819 Posts	Posted 07/12/2008 05:17 am I just received this lovely piece in the mail from Ms. Snooba. It is a medallion for the RAM commemorating the decimalisation of Australian Currency in 1966. I am thrilled to be able to add this piece to my Australian Numismatic Collection. Thank you Snooba!

Sap Moderator Australia 16817 Posts	Posted 07/12/2008 05:55 am Although the RAM is named on the medal, it wasn't produced by them. It was actually minted by Stokes, a private token, badge and medal-making firm in Melbourne. This piece is listed in the old Carlisle catalogue of Australian medals and medalets as number 1966/16, mintage 6000 in bronze, 3000 in silver. This catalogue dates from 1983; Les Carlisle has just finished producing his long-awaited second edition of the catalogue. I've ordered a copy. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff

When the new catalogue comes in, might you share the tidbit of information on this medal? I would be grateful. Edited by ElleKitty 07/12/2008 09:32 am Report this Post to the Staff
