Auction 311
Welcome to our Mid Year Auction. This auction
comprises nearly 2,900 lots will be held over
two days in the depths of the Melbourne winter.
Notwithstanding the chills we are again assured
of active participation due to the broad range of
numismatics and small collectables on offer. The
continuing cloud of global uncertainty has not
deterred the numismatic collecting fraternity as
we have noticed room attendances and postal
participation increasing since the doom and gloom
predictions of four or so years ago. This is indicative
of a true ‘buyers’ market’. Prices for world and
Australian banknotes have been quite strong
especially for fresh untouched examples. Australian
and world coins have continued to hold their worth
and in many cases, achieve record prices if rarity and
condition are present. We hope you enjoy this offering
and below are some of the tempting lots which are
sure to attract strong interest. In catalogue order:
• Australian and world militaria spearheaded by
the Reg Williams Library
• In excess of 620 Australian decimal lots
• Two Adelaide Pounds, Sovereign varieties
and high grade Gold
• Good range of 1955-1963 proof coinage,
four 1930 Pennies and several 1923 Halfpennies
• Superb Commonwealth section including the
magnificent 1933 Florin featured on the front cover
• Extensive range of small collectables, stamps and
cigarette cards
• World coins, share scrip and banknotes

Perhaps the most interesting items in the sale are
the items once belonging to Queen Emma of early
New Guinea fame. These include a silver waist belt
fashioned from no less than 14 German New Guinea
1894A 5 Mark coins as well as related items. The lots
come from family descendants and are backed up
by the Queen Emma’s last will and testament which
can be viewed but goes back to the family after the
auction.
Our many thanks to the growing number of returning
and new vendors, and buyers whose participation
make these events a success. We look forward to
meeting you at the auction and our friendly staff will
be at your disposal throughout the course of the event.

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 this prefix (e.g. aEF) indicates that the
item is almost at the grading designated.

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,
12 July 2012. 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, 27 July 2012.

Unless described, all official packaging and relevant
numbered 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 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 with a minimum charge
of $8 per lot (including GST) will be added to the
hammer price of each lot and is payable by ALL

and supply sufficient information and references as
required by Downies Australian Coin Auctions – this
will require the furnishing of sufficient proof of identity.

must register no later than 24 hours prior to the
commencement of the sale.
Agents Bidding
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.

Viewing
16. No lot is to be rejected if subsequent to the sale it
has been removed from its sealed holder and/or has

permission to subject the lot to such treatment has first
been obtained in writing.
Downies Australian Coin Auctions will apply the following
strict guidelines for intending auction viewers:
•
Viewers will be admitted to the viewing room subject to

to, regardless of any previous dealings the viewer has
had with Downies or Downies Australian Coin Auctions.

will be permitted in the viewing room under any
circumstances. Staff are happy to hold such items in a
secure room on your behalf.
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.
19. Bids from minors will not be accepted unless

guarantee.

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!

1856, reverse type 2 (M003) very rare with just a handful known
to exist, VG
Greg McDonald suggests the type 2 reverse is possibly a reworked
pattern die and states that just four examples of the type 2 reverse
have been identified to date, occurring only on coins dated 1856.
Three examples were offered in the Reserve Bank of Australia Gold
Coin Auction (Downies November 2005) and we know of three
others in private hands, placing this amongst the rarest issue of
the series

Royal Humane Society of Australasia award medal 38mm in silver
on plain blue ribbon with scroll suspender and silver buckle catch
awarded to ““W.C.J.Saunders 12.3.1927”. Details of the silver
medal awarded to Mr Saunders are as follows:
“Melville Vincent Boyd, St. Kilda (Vic.), Constable of Police, aged 23;
Melville Harcourt Maxwell, Fairfield (Vic.), Window Dresser, aged 19;
Gerald Withnell, Thornbury (Vic.), Labourer, aged 22;
William Clement Jack Saunders, Abbotsford (Vic.), Manufacturer,
aged 22;
John Henry William Salmon, Brunswick (Vic.), Senior Constable of
Police, aged 48;
Jeremiah Egan, North Fitzroy (Vic.), Constable of Police, aged 25;
Keith Faulkner Alexander, St Kilda (Vic.), Constable of Police, aged 24;
who risked their lives in a fire at the corner of Collins and
Swanston Streets, Melbourne, on March 12, 1927. A fire broke
out in the building, and two tenants, the Misses Symons, were
trapped. Boyd, Salmon, Saunders, Alexander, Egan and Withnell
rushed into the building and mounted to the third floor. Boyd and
Withnell went towards the room where the Misses Symons were.
They were joined by Maxwell. The building was full of smoke.
They tried to smash in the door of the room but failed, and, blinded
and choked by smoke and scorched by flames, they reached a
window. There they saw the firemen, by means of a ladder, rescue
the Misses Symons, and they, too, were also rescued and taken
to the hospital, suffering from burns and shock. Salmon, Egan
and Alexander, who went to another part of the building, worked
untiringly in helping other tenants out of the building, and lent
valuable assistance accompanied by great risk.”
Silver Medals to Maxwell, Withnell, Saunders (Boyd’s name was
inadvertently omitted from the citation)
Bronze Medals to Salmon, Alexander and Egan
The lot comes with Sovereign 1906M set in solid 15ct gold mount
engraved with the following: “To W.C.J.Saunders from M.Ross
Symons” reverse “In gratitude for his bravery in risking his life
in an endeavour to reach my two sisters who were entrapped by
flames in the burning building of Stewart Dawson’s Collins Street
Melbourne 12th March 1927”. The lot also comes with an Internet
transcript of a Sydney Morning Herald article of 14th March 1927
giving a rather condensed version of the event as far as the
number of rescuers was concerned. A rare and possibly unique
coupling, particularly with the private gold tribute from a sibling of
the two trapped women on that day

Supreme Court of Port Phillip New South Wales, Warrant 18th
November 1842 issued by the Deputy Sheriff of the District of Port

of Australasia (Plaintiff) by John Gray (Defendant) due to be heard
before Her Majesty’s Justice in the Supreme Court at Melbourne,

Phillip District of NSW official document and a desirable piece of

Following the opening up of the District of Port Phillip for
settlement, administration of justice was initially handled by Police
Magistrate Capt. William Lonsdale. A court for criminal trials was
established in 1838 but major cases and other matters were dealt
with in Sydney. The associated costs of travelling to Sydney made
it necessary for the establishment of a local court administration.
In 1840 the position for a resident judge was created and given
to Justice Willis with the first sittings of the court commencing in
April 1841. The Supreme Court Building (the ‘old’ Supreme Court)
was erected in 1842 on the north-west corner of Latrobe and
Russell Streets

profit), physical count not conducted but appears to be well over

“Queen Emma of New Guinea”, born Emma Eliza Coe on 26 September
1850 in Apia, Samoa, was the daughter of Jonas Myndersse Coe, a US
Commercial representative to American Samoa, and Joana Talelatale,
a native Samoan of the Malietoa dynasty. In an extraordinary life she
set up trading enterprises in the islands of the Pacific and began to
acquire considerable wealth. In the New Britain region of New Guinea
she purchased land and established coconut and cocoa plantations at
Herbertshohe (modern Kokopo). During the German administration of
New Guinea she became well acquainted with German colonists who
dubbed her the “Queen of New Guinea”. In 1909 she left the plantation
and took up residence in Sydney but in 1913 she learned that her
estranged husband Paul Kolbe, whom she had married twenty years
earlier, was seriously ill in Monte Carlo. Despite her own illness she
travelled to Europe and they were briefly reunited before he collapsed
and died. Emma, distressed and dangerously ill with diabetes, died just
hours later. Their remains were cremated and returned to New Britain
where they were interred together at Kokopo. After WWI her ashes
were removed and scattered in the sea amidst the Duke of York Islands.

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 were lost, placing the Tek Sing in the five worst maritime
disasters in terms of loss of life, exceeding the better known Titanic
disaster. The wreck site was discovered in 1999 and the cargo
Qing Dynasty porcelain was brought to the surface after being
on the sea bed for nearly two centuries. After decades of being
submerged in 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

These scarce pieces were struck in almost pure tin by Royal Patent
in 1688 and were the first coins struck in England specifically for
use in Britain’s American colonies. The unusual denomination was
due to the predominance of Spanish currency in the colonies at the
time and the concern that currency in pence would not be readily
accepted. It was rated with the equivalent value of one and one
half farthings. Three months or so after production commenced
the Glorious Revolution of 1688 saw the demise of James II and
coinage in his name ceased to be struck
