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.
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 the prefix (e.g. aEF) indicates that the item
is almost at the grading designated.
References commonly used:
•
•
•
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.
•
Fine (F): The effects of handling will be quite evident from
the amount of flatness to the design of a coin. Notes will

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 Friday,
9 July 2010. 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 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 and collection of goods
must be completed by Friday, 23 July 2010.
Reserve Price
General
7.
14. Each lot is sold as genuine and correctly described. 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
8.
A 19.25% buyer’s premium (including GST) 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.
Clients unknown to Downies Australian Coin Auctions
must register no later than 24 hours prior to the
commencement of the sale.
Agents Bidding
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.
Page 4
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.
Downies Australian Coin Auctions
Sale No. 305
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.
Viewing
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.
•

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.
•
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.
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.
•
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.

ink signatures of Flight Commander Dallas, Flight Lieutenant J
Anthony Carr who was a witness to the action, and the Squadron
Commander of No.1 Naval Squadron RNAS at the time. The lot
comes with an Internet listing of his recorded ‘kills’ and other

of the war applied for a posting with the Royal Flying Corps that
was rejected. He obtained a posting with the Royal Naval Air
Service in 1915 and successfully flew Nieuport Scouts, Sopwith
Triplanes and Sopwith Camels until he assumed command of 40
Squadron of the newly named RAF 1st April 1918. During his time
with the RNAS he was recorded as having 23 official ‘kills’ and
initially earned a DSC that was announced in the London Gazette
of 6th Sept 1916. He received his bar to the DFC as a result of the
April 1917 action:
Flt-Cdr Roderick Stanley Dallas, DSC, RNAS
In recognition of his services on the 23rd April, 1917, when with
two other machines he engaged a formation of nine-hostile scouts

inscribed on the reverse “Awarded to Barnet (sic) Samuel &
Sons London”, test mark on edge, light scratches on the obverse
otherwise EF, a very rare medallion and particularly desirable to
this recipient company.
Barnett Samuel immigrated to Britain from Russia and in 1832
formed a company in partnership with Henry and Josiah Solomon.
The success and fortunes of Samuel increased and with the
introduction of his sons into the business the firm became Barnett
Samuel & Sons in 1872. At the time when the present medallion
was awarded the company was enjoying considerable prosperity
through the manufacture and export of a wide range of musical
instruments. Barnett Samuel died the following year but under
the direction of his son Nelson Samuel, the company would soon
become one of the largest musical wholesalers in Britain.
In 1914 the company patented the first portable gramophone,
many of which were taken into the trenches during WWI. An
amalgam of the names ‘Mecca’ and the company’s trademark
‘Dulcet’ gave birth to the trade name Decca and their gramophone
was marketed as the ‘Decca Dulcephone’. In 1928 Barnett Samuel
& Sons was bought by British Equity Investment Co without the
right for continued use of the company name, whereupon it
was renamed Decca Gramophone Co, which, in turn, passed to
E.R.Lewis who took the company to greater renown as the Decca
Record Company.

Humphreys, Henry N. ‘The Coinage of the British Empire’, subtitled
‘An Outline of the Coinage in Great Britain and Her Dependencies
from the Earliest Period to the Present Time’, published Fleet
Street London 1855 by David Bogue, 160pp, XXIII (of 24) plates,
plates I-XII feature metallic tints in gold, silver and copper, plates
XIII-XVI, XVIa and XVIII-XXIII are engraved illustrations and line
drawings, ownership bookplate of Thomas S. Mort on the inside
front, the gilt leather spine somewhat worn but intact, highly
ornamental moulded papier-mache front and rear covers featuring
Henry VIII coat-of-arms with floral embellishments around, the
front cover moulding split, the contents disbound and plate XVII
missing otherwise complete. Has seen better days but a rarely
encountered example of the extraordinary level of artistic mid19th century bookbinding, well deserving of a little effort to restore
it back to its former glory and some TLC
In the mid-19th Century materials and production techniques had
reached a level which allowed highly sophisticated and complex
designs across all the Arts, including bookbinding. The Great
Exhibition of 1851 showcased these advances and elaborate gift
books became the ‘must-have’ of the social elite in the decade
of the 1850’s. At the peak of artistic production professional
designers occasionally signed the fruits of their labours: the
signature “HR” appears on a tablet beneath the armorial in the
present item, revealing the craftsman (William Harry Rogers) who
produced this remarkable work. An identical item was displayed
in an exhibition of “rare and beautiful publishers bindings” at the
University of Rochester during March-August 2002; the same
exhibition can now be seen on-line
Henry Noel Humphreys (1810-1879) British illustrator, naturalist
and numismatist, authored works on entomology (notably the
species of British moths and butterflies), archaeology, writing and
printing as well as coins. His outstanding and most notable works
include ‘Art of Illumination’ and ‘The Parables of Our Lord’
Thomas Sutcliffe Mort (1816-1878) was a Lancashire-born
businessman who arrived in Australia at Sydney in 1838 and
became a mining company director, dairy farmer, wool broker, land
speculator and financier/investor. His statue stands in Macquarie

WATCH CHAINS
Terence Santry; untitled work depicting inner urban scene
720x540mm in matte glazed frame 970x720mm, signed Santry
at lower right. The vendor has listed the item as a Brighton scene
but the work evokes images more reminiscent of a northern
Melbourne suburb (Carlton, Fitzroy), or inner Sydney suburb such
as Paddington – it is known that Santry lived and worked primarily
in the Sydney area. A most impressive and large item
Terence John Santry (1910-1990) studied at the Royal Art Society
in Sydney under Anthony Dattilo Rubbo, Sydney Long, Fred Leist,
and Jack Carrington Smith. Throughout the 1930s he worked
as an illustrator and cartoonist with the Daily Telegraph, Labour
Daily and Women’s Weekly. He undertook further studies at the
Westminster School, England in 1937, and upon his return in
1939 continued with cartooning and commercial art work while
establishing himself as a painter. After WWII Santry was the
founding member of the Northwood Group, painting in and around
the Waverton area of Sydney, the group including Lloyd Rees
and George Lawrence. The 1950s were a time of great reward
for Santry, winning a number of regional awards and prizes. His
works adorn the walls of many state and regional galleries around
Australia

neatly within a glass topped timber travel case with lock and key;
behind the icon is a letter in Russian text plus a small handwritten note
also in Russian text set within a glass holder which provides evidence
of provenance to the renowned 19th century Soloviev family, the
father Mikhailovich being a Russian historian and his son Vsevolod
a notable philosopher and mystic. An exceptionally fine piece from a
centre famous for icon production and with an interesting provenance,
having remained in the hands of the same family since the 1820s.
The note in the glass reads: “Vsevolod Soloviev 1879, 15th August,
Tsarskoe Selo. My father has been blessed with this icon of Virgin
Mary of Kazan by Igumenya in Kazan Convent in the city of Yaroslavl
on the 8th July 1827. From then on the icon has always stayed with
my father, both at home and in his later travels around Europe. In the
first year of my life (1849) I was having strong fits and when the doctor
announced that my death is inevitable the icon was hung above my
cradle and I have not parted with it ever since. It has been with me
during my trips and travels around Russia and Western Europe. After
my death I entrust my son to honor this icon as sacred family heritage
and to never part with it, as did I and my father. May Virgin Mary
protect you all from sickness and misfortune”.

came about as a measure to hold the support of the Illyrian army

Procopius held a minor dynastic claim to the throne through his
relationship to Julian II, a nephew of Constantine I. In the spring of
365 Procopius led a rebellion in Constantinople after Valens had
departed the city with his army on a march to Antioch. Having won
over the populace Procopius entered the senate chambers and was
proclaimed emperor on 28 September. After winning early territorial
gains he eventually failed in battle against Valens near Nacolia in
Phrygia was executed on 27 May 366 at the age of 40.

not frequently offered, VF
Rhuddlan is a Welsh town in the former county of Flintshire (Clwyd,
now Denbighshire), 25 miles west of Chester and has a fortified
castle built at the time of Edward I’s conquest of Wales. The short
cross issues from this mint were struck in two main classes
with minor sub-classes over a period of approximately 35 years
between c.1180 and c.1215 and are of local workmanship without
corresponding to the classes from the regular mints. The prototype
for the Rhuddlan class i issues is likely the class I issues of Henry
II although it was issued slightly later, in a period overlapping the
two succeeding reigns.

New South Wales; Specimen unissued gold fund bond for US$1, 000
printed for the Equitable Trust Company of New York by the American
Banknote Company as the fiscal agent dated 1st April 1927 for a
period of 31 years at 5% per year with attached coupons numbered
00000 for Twenty Five Dollars at six monthly intervals, the full sum to
be redeemed 1st April 1958. The coupons are signed by Jack Lang,
Premier and Colonial Treasurer of New South Wales and each coupon
has a small circular punch hole through the signature. Of immense
historical value, the document is EF and believed to be unique
These bonds were to provide $25,000 as an external loan to the State
of New South Wales created under the authority of the Government
Loan Act of 30th Dec 1926 by the NSW Parliament. This was a time
of immense political activity for and against Jack Lang and a lack
of revenue that saw the NSW Government reneging on interest
payments to British bond holders in April 1931. The above bond issue
failed to eventuate and bond issues were taken up in Great Britain to
overcome the liquidity problem. Part of the funds gained were directed
to the financing of the Sydney Harbour Bridge, completed in 1932

Five Pounds Riddle-Heathershaw Q/11 first prefix, Note Issue
Department type (R41) gFine and exceedingly rare, this elusive
note missing from most collections, this example being a new
discovery and the first time offered in the marketplace
The rarity of this issue is explained in a letter written by John Ash
to a Commonwealth Bank manager on 7th May 1928:
...I find the trouble occurred through four old plates being used.
The plates were put on the machine early in 1927. These were
alright for use when Mr Kells’ signature appeared on the notes, but
even so, the designation in the plates should have been altered to
Governor instead of Chairman away back in 1923
There were approximately 559,000 notes issued with the wrong
designation. Would it be of any assistance if the whole of the
notes were returned to us for re-examination of designation...The
faulty plates have either already been destroyed or condemned for
destruction. I regret the inconvenience caused through this error.
It should be taken into account that of this number printed, most
were withdrawn from circulation and destroyed due to the error
in title designation. Normal ageing and wear and tear would
have eventually seen off most of the other notes that might have
remained in circulation, so the number of extant examples could
easily be surmised to be very few indeed

The only release of the serial 000000 has been for sheets
auctioned for charity in Sydney over the last few years. This is
one of the very few notes with this serial released into circulation
in the last 36 years since the hand numbering of 000000 notes
with a “1” ceased. Common practice since this time has been
the removal and destruction of the note. An article was published
in an Australian Coin Review several years ago alluding to this
fact. This is therefore an accidental release of such a note in
Uncirculated condition, and together with the 999999 note that is
often destroyed because of poor inking on the rollers, this is truly
a unique pair
