Gradings and terminology used in this catalogue
Proof: Proof coins are the most beautiful coins imaginable.
They are struck using specially hardened dies, and highly
polished blanks. The result is a coin of great clarity and depth
of detail. Most modern Proofs (1966 onwards) contrast a
brilliant mirror background against delicately frosted detail.
Prooflike: Often a non-official mint strike, or medallic in
nature.
Brilliant Uncirculated (B/Unc) or choice Unc:
Uncirculated, but with higher than normal sheen.
have clear signs of soiling and heavy creasing, possibly also
some tearing.
Very Good (VG): Most details of a coin’s design will be
all but gone, but the basic design and date are still visible.
Notes of this grade are near the end of their useful life, and
are of little value unless they are very scarce or rare.
choice: An exceptional example of the given grade.
good (g): Use of the prefix good (e.g. gVF) indicates that
the item is slightly better than the grade stated.
Uncirculated (Unc): An uncirculated or unused item.
Full detail, no wear, brilliance and lustre are hallmarks of an
uncirculated coin, whereas no bends, folds or staining are
qualities of an uncirculated banknote.
about (a): Use of the prefix (e.g. aEF) indicates that the
item is almost at the grading designated.

handling though the paper will still be reasonably crisp.

Extremely Fine (EF): Coins show only traces of wear to
the high points of the design and only light surface marks
from circulating. Otherwise the design is clear and sharp and
the coin will have much lustre. Notes are clean and crisp with
only the slightest signs of creases and folds.
Very Fine (VF): Lustre has gone and there will be flatness

Terms and Conditions
It is important that bidders make themselves aware of the following. Do not bid if you are
not prepared to comply fully with the terms and conditions for this auction.
Purchaser
Payment Terms
1.
11. Title of purchased lots shall not pass until the purchase
price and buyer’s expenses are paid in full with cleared
funds in Australian Dollars. We accept Cash, EFTPOS,
Electronic Funds Transfer, Bank or Personal Cheque and
Credit Card (subject to surcharge). Overseas buyers not
using credit card facilities will be required to add AUD
$20 to payments to cover bank charges; this will appear
on the buyer’s invoice.
The purchaser is to be the highest bidder. Any dispute
arising as to the highest bidder will be determined by the
Auctioneer who may re-offer any disputed lot.
Auctioneer
2.
The Auctioneer shall regulate all bidding. Usual
procedure is for bids to be advanced by not less than
5% on the previous bid. The Auctioneer’s starting price
shall be one bid over the second highest postal bid
received. Postal bidders should bid early, as first bids at
the same level receive priority.
3.
If so requested, buyers shall give their name and address
and/or pay the whole or part of the purchase price at the
sale. Failure to comply with these rules in respect of any
lot entitles the Auctioneer to re-sell any lot, any resulting
deficiency being made good by the defaulter.
4.
The Auctioneer reserves the right to (a) refuse any bid, (b)
bid on behalf of clients. While every care and attention
is taken in executing bids and written instructions, the
Auctioneer regrets that he cannot accept responsibility
for any errors.
5.
The Auctioneer shall not be liable for any default of the
Purchaser or Vendor.
Disputes
6.
In the event of any dispute, the Auctioneer shall have
sole discretion to resolve the dispute and may re-offer
the disputed lot.
Purchaser Responsibilities
12. The buyer of each lot is to be responsible for it from the
time it is “knocked down”. Payment is to be made in full
with cleared funds before delivery or collection. The lot(s)
are to be paid for by Australian buyers within two days
of receiving the invoice, and by overseas buyers within
7 days of receiving the invoice. A service charge of
2% per month will be added to all overdue accounts.
Failure to pay in full within the specified time also entitles
the Auctioneer to re-sell the lots, with any resulting
deficiency being made good by the defaulter.
Delivery/Collection of Lots
13. Lots can be picked up from our Auction Rooms, Lower
Ground Floor, Block Arcade from 10 am Thursday,
27 October 2011. No lots will be delivered to buyers
without payment in full. Lots purchased on behalf of
postal bidders will be fowarded, fully insured, by the

purchaser is at liberty to return the lot by giving written
notice with seven days (or in the case of overseas
buyers, within 14 days) of the sale, if he proves that the
lot is not genuine or not correctly described. The onus on
proving a lot to be not genuine lies with the purchaser.
Proof of the inability of a recognised expert to express a
definite opinion will not discharge this onus.
Bids below 60% of estimate will not be accepted.
Buyer’s Premium

of $8 per lot (including GST) will be added to the
hammer price of each lot and is payable by ALL

clients do so on their own responsibility both for
payment and safe delivery of the lots.

15. Watches, instruments and devices with working
mechanisms are verified to be accurately described.
Whilst every care is taken to provide secure packaging
for all items in transit, no responsibility may be assigned
to the Auctioneer for lots which are described as being
‘in working order’ but are found to be not working at time
of receipt. Such lots are sold “as is” and are not subject
to return.

has been removed from its sealed holder and/or has
been treated by any process, unless the Auctioneer’s
permission to subject the lot to such treatment has first
been obtained in writing.

Helpful Advice for Absentee Bidders
•
As a bidder at our Public Auction, you will be able to
decide the level at which you would like to purchase an
item. To assist bidders in the preparation of their bids,
the Auctioneer has set an “estimated market price” on
each lot. This is a conservative guide to the market value
of the items described and you may bid above or below
this estimate.
•
Please note however, that bids below 60% of this
estimate will not be processed.
•
the estimate and this will be treated as your maximum
bid (excluding the buyer’s commission). Alternatively,
you can place a conservative bid and, if the bidding
far exceeds it, you can elect to increase that bid by a
fixed percentage. The higher bid will only be executed
if necessary, and strictly according to your instructions.
Please fill in the appropriate space on the bid sheet if
this is required.
Our descriptions are complete and our grading is
conservative. Our aim is to give you the best possible
guide to the actual condition of the item you are seeking.
We value our postal bidders and believe that our grading
and pricing policies work to the mutual long term benefit
of both the customer and our Company.
•
If you are interested in a number of lots, but only wish to
spend a limited amount of money, please mark your bids and
then clearly indicate in the space provided, the maximum
amount you wish to spend.
•
In preparing your bids, it is important to note that a
19.25% buyer’s commission is added to the knock down
price of each lot (includes GST).
•
Your bid will be executed in the strictest confidence
by an official representative of the Company. It will be
regarded as the maximum bid that you are prepared to
pay and we will always try to purchase on your behalf at
a price lower than your maximum bid given.
•
If you are interested in a particular item, and there are
two or more identical lots; you can clearly indicate on
your bid sheet that you wish to bid for “one only” (or
more) of the nominated lots on offer. This must be made
clear on the bid sheet.
•
On items that you anticipate the price may far exceed the
estimate, we can offer you some flexibility in the execution
of your bid. Obviously, you may submit a bid well above
•
Remember, the benefit is yours by buying at Public
Auction: you can decide exactly what you want to pay
for any item, and bid to that level.
Remember that successful absentee bids at the same level will be awarded to the earliest bid
at that level – SO BID EARLY!

WWI Gallipoli: 3-piece communion set hallmarked 1911 by
Sheffield manufacturer Walker & Hall in the original black leather
case, more commonly found in silver plate, this a very scarce
and high quality set in sterling silver by an excellent maker, not
frequently offered and lovely condition which is made more
desirable by Gallipoli connection
This set was purchased in the 1980s at a church de-consecration
sale in Hampshire England and was said to have been donated after
the Great War by the family of a locum vicar of that church who was
among the war’s fallen. On the church’s Roll of Honour there appeared
the names of British servicemen and one Australian: Lieutenant
Everard Digges-La-Touche of the 2nd Btn AIF. An Irish national, LaTouche was a clergyman ministering in Sydney at the outbreak of
war. He enlisted at Sydney 27th Dec1914 aged 32 with the rank 2nd
Lieut and was killed in action at Lone Pine Gallipoli 8th Aug 1915 (on
nominal roll as Latouche). Mentioned in C.E.W.Bean Vol II: The Story
of Anzac page 517: “Amongst the first eager leaders to reach it (the
‘deep sap’) was a reinforcement officer who had arrived only the night
before from Egypt – Lieutenant Everard Digges La Touche, a missioner
of the Church of England in Sydney. At its first bend he and two of his
men fell mortally wounded”. (again, in footnote) “When war broke out,
being unable to obtain an appointment as chaplain he enlisted as a
private (sic) in the Australian Infantry”

from the one family, the father having served in the AIF with a
mounted unit in WWI; the son was with the 2/21st Battalion
taken prisoner by the Japanese after the unsuccessful defence of
Ambon and transferred to Hainan Island from which he managed
to escape, taking the Japanese cap with him (the 2/21st on
Hainan suffered the highest death rate of any Australian POW’s).
After making his way to the Chinese mainland he joined a Chinese
militia unit and continued to fight the Japanese for the remainder
of the war.

undamaged without cracks and rings true, the clapper and clapper
tongue free from rust and in good condition, names of two children
christened on board the vessel inscribed inside in customary naval
tradition, comes with a large and attractive bronze plaque with
her name and RAN badge, a unique opportunity as very few RAN
bells ever come onto the market and are rare in private hands, this
one of only a very small number to be so, a fine and extraordinary
piece of Australian wartime memorabilia and particularly desirable
coming from an honoured vessel which survived numerous
enemy air attacks and upon which the commanding officer of the
Australian 11th Division accepted the surrender of the Japanese
forces from General Ito
Page 16
HMAS Swan was a Grimsby class sloop laid down by Cockatoo
Island Dockyard Sydney 1935 and commission into the RAN 21
January 1937. Her company in peacetime was 135 officers and
sailors which increased to 160 during the War. At the beginning
of the war Swan was fitted out as a minesweeper and cleared
minefields laid by German ships off Wilson’s Promontory in Bass
Strait and in waters around Newcastle, Hobart and the Spencer
Gulf. During the Japanese advance in the Pacific she was engaged
in minesweeping and convoy escort in New Guinea and the Islands.
She was attacked from the air at Port Moresby and Amboina in
early 1942 but escaped undamaged on both occasions. She was
at Darwin when Japanese aircraft launched their first attack on
Australian soil, attacking Swan seven times. She got underway
without getting a direct hit but near-misses caused damage, killing
three of her crew (buried at sea) and wounding nineteen others.
After repairs at Brisbane she was again attacked while berthed
at Townsville during the Japanese bombing raids on the city. She
was engaged in escorting convoys between Australia and New
Guinea where she experienced several more enemy air attacks.
She carried out a series of bombardments of enemy positions
in New Guinea and New Britain and supported the operations of
the Australian 6th Division at Wewak and was part of the practice
operation by “Z” Special Force in training for their commando
attack on Occupied Singapore. Lovingly nicknamed the “Mucky
Duck”, she received three Battle Honours for wartime service:
“Darwin 1942”, “Pacific 1941-45” and “New Guinea 1943-44”.
After the Japanese capitulation General Eather of the Australian
11th Division accepted surrender papers from the commanderin-chief of Japanese forces General Ito aboard the Swan at
Namatani in New Ireland in September 1945. Swan continued
minesweeping after the war, clearing mines from shipping lanes
in Australian, New Guinea and Solomon Island waters. In 1962 she
was decommissioned and later sold for scrap

Salvo Bonnici, born in Tunisia but a British subject was a ward
room servant on the vessel HMS Coquette, a 4-gun screw gunboat
of 430 tons and 9 knots speed that was launched at Pembroke in
1876. In 1882 the Coquette, commanded by Lieutenant Lennox
Napier, took part in the Egyptian War. In August 1883 a landing
party from the Coquette and other ships, consisting of 565 officers
and men, occupied the town of Ismailia in the Suez Canal after
some slight fighting. The Coquette further assisted in the seizure
of the Suez Canal, an operation necessary in order to secure a safe
passage for the British troops who were going to use Ismailia as
a base. In February 1884 a landing party from the Coquette under
Lieutenant Fritz Eden Crowe and crew from two other ships went
ashore at Suakin, and assisted in the defence of that place by
manning the fortifications. In March 1885 a Naval Brigade from the
Coquette and four other ships joined a field force of 13,000 men
under Lieutenant General Sir Gerald Graham which marched out
of Suakin. They occupied Hasheen on March 20th, and on March
22nd, under Major-General Sir J.C. MacNeill, they fought the battle
of Tofrek. She was sold in 1889

Wreck of the coastal steamer ‘Admella’, rescuer’s award medallion

Gov. of S.Australia, for heroism & bravery in saving the lives of
passengers wrecked in the ill fated S.S.Admilla (sic) after 8 days
on the wreck, Feb. 1859”, the reverse engraved with a view of
the fore section of the stricken ship with people huddled on the
deck, bars ‘Adelaide’ and ‘Victoria’ on the suspender, the edge
inscribed ‘John Williamson S.S.Lady Bird’, an exceptionally rare
and possibly unique award to a crew member from one of the
vessels involved in the rescue and the only one of its type we
have seen; together with four unnamed British campaign medals
including Crimea 1854 bar Sebastopol, Turkish Crimea Sardinian
issue, New Zealand Medal undated, Egypt Medal 1882; and an
interesting unofficial Meritorious Conduct Medal which appears to
have been fashioned from a modified Victorian General Service
Medal or similar, engraved on a smoothed side with inscription
within a cross: “This Medal was presented for meritorious
conduct in saving the life of his officer in the Massacre Bay of
Islands Newzealand (sic) 1862 & 1864, the edge naming erased
but ‘H.M.S.Victoria’ remains, altogether a varied group, the first
previously unknown and exceptionally rare, the last item difficult
to research with lack of naming but very intriguing and quite
possibly unique, all have been cleaned but a most interesting lot,
Fine-VF (6 medals, see online catalogue HTML version for other
items in this lot)
On a voyage from Adelaide to Melbourne with 113 crew and
passengers, the iron-hulled steamer ‘Admella’ ran onto Carpenter’s
Rocks in the early hours of the morning of 6th August 1859 and
within minutes broke up, leaving survivors stranded on the wreck.
The Henty-owned ‘Lady Bird’ from Portland and the steamers ‘Ant’
and ‘Corio’ tried in vain to mount rescue attempts. Those clinging
to the battered wreck were exposed to the Southern Ocean and
the winter chill for over a week without fresh water and only a little
food for sustenance. In the appalling conditions some were swept
away by waves while others succumbed and slipped into the sea.
After eight days the sea abated and rescuers managed to get the
remaining 24 survivors to safety.
In a function at the Melbourne Exhibition Buildings in June 1860
specially commissioned Admella Medals were presented by the
Governor of Victoria to those involved in rescue attempts from
the land and sea. Those amongst the crews of the ships who had
risked their lives in the rescue were also presented with medals
of the Imperial Board of Trade and the Shipwrecked Mariners’
Royal Benevolent Society. There appears to be no reference to a
South Australian Governor’s Medal in publications relating to the
Admella. An Adelaide Committee Relief Fund financial statement
published in December 1859 lists the names of officers and crews
of the rescue ships who were given medals and monetary rewards
but the name John Williamson is omitted. The present medal, with

the appearance of having been rather crudely fashioned from a
variety of components, may well have been a hasty correction to
an embarrassing oversight. Sadly, Williamson’s name appears to
have been overlooked in the published accounts of the Admella
story. The existence of the medal awarded to him by the Governor
of South Australia is perhaps the only testament to his involvement
in the rescue. Research in 150-year-old South Australian
Government or Henty archives might one day reveal the story of
this forgotten hero and restore his name to a place of honour.
The relationship of the five accompanying items in the group
with the Admella, if any at all, isn’t known. The last item with
the naming ‘HMS Victoria’ on the edge may have origins to the
British ship of that name which participated in the Crimea War
or it may refer to the Australian Colonial vessel ‘HMVS Victoria’
which had the “V” dropped when the Royal Navy felt the Colony
of Victoria was setting up its own navy. The Australian ship was
later redesignated ‘HMCSS Victoria’, the crew of which served as
a naval brigade during the First Taranaki War. It may be that John
Williamson had served with the Australians in the New Zealand
conflict. He might have been in the Crimea. At least one crewman
wrecked on the Admella and survived was known to have been a
Crimean War veteran. If it can be positively ascertained that all six
medals were awarded to the one person, particularly if he was an
Australian Naval crewman, this becomes a very significant group
indeed.

Beech/Dunbar, John; sketch book containing original hand-drawn
sketches in pencil, pen & ink and watercolour by Pte. John Beech
with some newspaper cuttings pasted in, inscription penned in
the front “In Grateful Remembrance – Pte J. Beech, 34th AIF,
Winchcombe Jan 4, 1918”, a group of war-time illustrations
without combat views; instead, a group of delightful studies of
men and women including soldiers, nurses and civilians during the
time of war, some humorous such as “Dressed to Kill: Two Styles”
showing a crusty soldier and a dapper gent face to face, others
show battle weary soldiers at rest, relaxation and rehabilitation,
a unique view of life and humanity during war by an artist
with a keen eye and a good hand, from first hand ‘on the spot’
observation, some pages coming adrift but the pictures bright and
clear
ex Harrower Collection of Australian Militaria (honouring the
sacrifice and commitment of Australian war service personnel)

sketches

2035 Pte John Beech, 34th Battalion AIF, real name Ernest Dunbar,
the son of Charles and Elizabeth Dunbar, born Scone NSW 1890.
He enlisted with the AIF 1st January 1915 and was with the
13th Battalion at Gallipoli where he was wounded. He was sent
back to Egypt for convalescence where he was infected with a
transmittable disease and returned to Australia where he was
discharged as Medically Unfit. Using the assumed name John
Beech, he re-enlisted and served with the 34th Battalion until
he was gassed at Passchendaele, eventually being invalided
back to Australia with Trench Foot in August 1918. He suffered
difficult consequences from his assumed identity and died
a pauper at Cheltenham (Vic) Asylum in 1925, aged just 35.
Australian War Memorial and National Archives records reflect that
Dunbar and Beech are the same man. Another of his sketchbooks
bearing the name 1533 Private John Dunbar 13th Battalion is
housed in the Australian War Memorial Collection (ART19520)

Wreck of the Rooswijk, Mexico Pillar Eight Reales 1734MF (KM103)

The 30-gun Dutch East Indiaman ‘Rooswijk’, outward bound
on her second voyage to the East Indies with a cargo of silver
coin and specie, sank with no known survivors on the Goodwin
Sands in December 1739. The wreck lay hidden until 2004 when
a shift in the sand revealed her remains and salvage operations
commenced soon after

Wreck of the Tek Sing, pair of blue and white glazed ogee bowls,
one with small chips to the edge, both with marine deposits on the
surfaces, one heavily so (2 items)
The Chinese junk ‘Tek Sing’ set out from the trading port Amoy
(modern Xiamen) in early January 1822, headed for Batavia. It was
a huge vessel by the standards of the day, designed for long ocean
voyages under enormous sail in monsoonal winds. On board
was a large cargo of Dehua porcelain and around 1800 people,
mostly migrant workers. On 6th February as it neared Indonesia
the ship struck the Belvidere Reef in the Gaspar Strait and heeled
over onto its side, throwing many into the water before it sank.
The next day 200 people were rescued by a passing ship but
approximately 1600 had been lost, placing the Tek Sing in the five
worst maritime disasters in terms of loss of life and exceeding
the better known Titanic disaster. The wreck site was discovered
in 1999 and the cargo of Qing Dynasty porcelain was brought to
the surface after being on the sea bed for nearly two centuries.
After decades of being submerged in the darkness of the ocean
depths some pieces have developed a calcified marine coating
giving them added character while others remain as fresh as the
day they were packed into the ship’s hold before the fateful voyage
got underway
