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.
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.
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
on the design of a coin. Other traces of wear may also be
evident. Banknotes of this grade will show distinct signs of
handling though the paper will still be reasonably crisp.
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.
about (a): Use of this prefix (e.g. aEF) indicates that the
item is almost at the grading designated.

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
Agents Bidding
1.
10. Agents bidding on behalf of disclosed and undisclosed
clients do so on their own responsibility both for
payment and safe delivery of the lots.
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.
Agents will be responsible for any non-payment or
shortfall of accounts.
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 absentee bid
received. Absentee bidders should bid early, as first bids
at the same level receive priority.
3.
If so requested, room buyers maybe required to pay the
whole or part of the purchase price at the sale. Failure
to comply with this rule in respect of any lot entitles the
Auctioneer to re-sell the lot or lots with any resulting
deficiency being made good by the defaulter.
4.
The Auctioneer reserves the right to (a) refuse any
bid and (b) bid on behalf of clients. While every care
and attention is taken in executing bids and written
instructions, the Auctioneer regrets that he/she 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.
Payment Terms
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.
Clearance of cheques and confirmation of direct
deposits will delay collection/delivery.
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.
Reserve Price
Delivery/Collection of Lots
7.
13. Lots can be picked up from 3 Redland Drive Mitcham
from noon Friday, 13 November 2015. No lots will
be delivered to buyers without payment in full. Lots
purchased on behalf of absentee bidders will be
fowarded, fully insured, by the most practical method
at the risk of the purchaser who shall bear all costs
incurred. No lots will be delivered during the Auction.
Note that payment for and collection of goods must be

minimum charge of $8 per lot will be added to the
hammer price of each lot and is payable by ALL
buyers.
Bidder Details
9.
All bidders must complete a bidder’s registration form
and supply sufficient information and references as
required by Downies Australian Coin Auctions – this will
require the furnishing of sufficient proof of identity.
The submission of absentee bids constitutes registration;
though the Auctioneer reserves the right to further
establish the bona fides of such bidders and require a
security deposit or credit card details prior to acceptance
of the bids.
Clients unknown to Downies Australian Coin Auctions
must register no later than 24 hours prior to the
commencement of the sale.
Page 4
Absentee and room bidders may vary these delivery
methods, but at their own risk. Such alterations must be
advised in advance.
General
14. Each lot is sold as genuine and correctly described.
Unless described, all official packaging and relevant
certificates are presented within the lot. 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/she 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.
Downies Australian Coin Auctions
Sale No. 320
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.
16. No lot is to be rejected if subsequent to the sale it
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.
17. No lot is to be rejected if the purchaser or his agent has
inspected the lot prior to the sale, irrespective of whether
or not any item or items are incorrectly described.
18. Failure on the part of the bidder or purchaser to comply
with the conditions stated previously, entitles the
Auctioneer to cause the bidder or purchaser to forfeit
any deposit held. Any uncleared lots may be re-sold by
public or private sale and any resultant deficiency shall
be made good by the defaulter.

strict guidelines for intending auction viewers:

Helpful Advice for Absentee and New 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.
•
Purchase of lots on extension (extended payment terms) will
NOT be permitted
•
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 absentee bidders and believe that our grading and
pricing policies work to the mutual long term benefit of both
the customer and our Company.
•
•
of your bid. Obviously, you may submit a bid well above
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.
Your bids will be executed in the strictest confidence by an
official representative of the Company. They will be regarded
as the maximum bids that you are prepared to pay and we
will always try to purchase on your behalf at a price lower
than your maximum bids given.
•
If you are interested in a number of lots, but only wish to spend a
limited amount of money, please write your bids and then clearly
indicate, in the space provided, the maximum amount you
wish to spend.
•
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 very clear on the bid sheet.
•
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.
•
In preparing your bids, it is important to note that a 19.25%
buyer’s commission including GST is added to the knock
down price of each lot. Do not add commission to your
maximum bid.
On items that you anticipate the price may far exceed the
estimate, we can offer you some flexibility in the execution
Remember that successful absentee bids at the same level will be awarded to the earliest bidder
at that level – SO BID EARLY!

The Ovalau Medal 1903, engraved naming to W.Brett, presented by

meritorious exertion in trying to save the ship and saving the passengers
by transporting them to Lord Howe Island, comes with copy of news article
concerning the wreck with picture of the ship, VF and extremely rare
The ship ‘Ovalau’ under the command of Captain Todd and on the
return leg of her run between Sydney, Noumea, the Solomons, Norfolk
Island and Lord Howe Island with 45 passengers and 28 crew, caught
fire 100 miles from the nearest landfall on the evening of Sunday 18
October 1903. The vessel made full steam all through the night while
on fire, heading for Lord Howe. Upon making port all passengers were
safely put ashore though by 10am the vessel was burning fiercely. An
explosion in the boiler caused extensive damage and the vessel sank
early the next morning.

the lot comes with an official reproduction certificate from the Society
with the correct citation and an extract of the Society’s annual report
confirming the awarding of the medal for his deed on 7th October
1914, VF for manufacture
The White Star Line vessel SS Ceramic was launched in 1912 and
underwent trials in July 1913 after completion. At this time testing
of the ship’s self-defence gunnery was under the command of
Lieutenant Davey RNR, a member of the ship’s crew. The ship plied the
England-Australia route via Cape Town before becoming a troop ship
in WWI, and resumed passenger carrying duties until it was torpedoed
in December 1942 with the loss of all but one of its 656 crew and
passengers

contest, the coin aUnc and the box in good condition
The Star was a Melbourne post-Depression era newspaper which ran briefly
from October 1933 until its demise in April 1936. The “Who Will It Be” Contest
was an immensely popular reader-participation event culminating in a gala
presentation night attended by 10000 people. Major prizes included a cruise
and a motor cycle while consolation prizes of various types and values included
a silver fox fur, diamond brooch, chocolates and theatre tickets. Although
no records are known concerning the boxed Centenary Florins in the event,
evidently they were amongst of the schedule of prizes though the very small
number seen today suggests they were only few in number

British Australian Gold Mining Company (offices at Moorgate Street London
and George Street Sydney: capital in 200,000 shares of £1 each) certificate
for twenty shares, dated on the back 1st December 1851, a very early gold
mining certificate and very scarce.
The year 1851 was a cornerstone in Australia’s history. The first discovery of
payable gold in Australia was made at Ophir near Bathurst NSW (February).
This was followed by the Victorian discoveries at Warrandyte (July), Clunes
(July), Buninyong (August), Castlemaine (September) and Bendigo (October).
Issued just weeks and months after these events, this certificate ranks
alongside the earliest gold mining enterprises in Australia and pre-dates
some of the substantial discoveries such as Beechworth, Omeo and Walhalla.

experience kept him away from active service for another two years. Rising
rapidly in promotion to squadron leader, he became commanding officer of
training squadrons at Wagga Wagga and Deniliquin, teaching hundreds of
others to fly, including Australia’s future top flying ace, Clive Caldwell. By
Mid June 1943 Scott was in Britain flying with the RAF and in February 1944
he was selected to join the Pathfinder Force, a unit in which only the most
skilled pilots were chosen but one which experienced heavy losses due
to the perilous nature of the operations. Much of his work involved night
flight bombing raids and target marker laying (marking the way to enemy
targets and cities by dropping incendiaries to guide the way for heavy
bombers), and conducting “nuisance” raids over Germany in night-time
light bombing missions. In the early morning of the D-Day Landings he and
six other Lancaster pilots were sent on a highly secretive mission to bomb
Nazi gun emplacements on the Normandy Beaches before the landings
got underway. In January 1945 he was awarded the Distinguished Flying

an impressive framed and glazed colourised photographic display of
the race comprising the start, the finish, the winner returning to scale,
the jockey and the owners Donovan, Condon and J.W.Barker (also the
horse’s trainer). The pair of items in very good condition, and a fine piece
of turf club history; viewers and bidders will not be disappointed (2 items)
The Doomben 10,000 is a Group 1 weight-for-age (WFA) sprint over 1350
metres and has recently been listed in the Top 100 Group 1 races in the
world. The race began as the Doomben Newmarket Handicap in 1933,
listed as a Principal Race, with the race distance varying from six to seven
furlongs. The introduction of the metric system saw the race distance fixed
at 1350 metres from 1973, and Group 1 status was achieved in 1980. The
first ‘official’ Doomben 10,000 was run in 1947 when the official prize
money was set at £10,000, and the race was run over seven furlongs
(the same distance as in 1958). Amongst the horse’s racing achievements
is a victory in the Stradbroke Handicap in 1959 over seven furlongs at
Eagle Farm in 1959 (also a Principal Race at the time). The origin of the
box/trophy is unclear as it has not been possible to obtain information on
formal or informal trophies presented at the time.
