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 1 pm Thursday,
21 February 2013. 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, 8 March 2013.
Reserve Price
General
7.
14. Each lot is sold as genuine and correctly described.
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 (including GST) with a
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.
Clients unknown to Downies Australian Coin Auctions
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.
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.

Viewing
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 will apply the following
strict guidelines for intending auction viewers:
•
Viewers will be admitted to the viewing room subject to
positive proof of identity – this requires the furnishing of
a Government issue photo ID (such as a driver licence,

be acceptable. These conditions will be strictly adhered
to, regardless of any previous dealings the viewer has
had with Downies or Downies Australian Coin Auctions.
•
No hand luggage (such as bags) or hand-held apparel
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
accompanied by a full cash deposit or suitable
guarantee.
20. Phone bids are most welcome but must be confirmed
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!

International Exhibition Victoria 1873 prize medallion 48mm in
bronze by Stokes & Martin Melbourne, edge impressed “The Hon
Samuel H.Bindon, Commissioner” virtually Unc with mirror-like
fields, much scarcer in bronze than the silver issue and very rare
when awarded to an exhibition commissioner
Samuel Henry Bindon (1812-1979) was a minister for justice,
judge and pioneer of technical education. Born in Limerick
Ireland to landed parents with a history of representation in the
Irish parliament, he graduated from Trinity College Dublin with a
Bachelor of Laws in 1838. Soon after he became a member of
the Celtic Society, the Archaeological Society of Ireland and the
Irish Federation, and in the 1840s he publicly adopted the Irish
nationalist cause. The family property that he had expected to
inherit was alienated from him in the Encumbered States Courts
in the famine of 1846. Further political disappointments ensued
in the early 1850s and he decided to immigrate to Australia,
landing in Victoria in 1855. He practised law in the county courts
and was elected to the Legislative Assembly for Castlemaine in
1864, serving as Minister of Justice in 1866 for two years, and
resigned his seat in Parliament in October 1868. Bindon strove
for the development of the agricultural and industrial wealth of
the country, and amongst other achievements he succeeded in
passing special grants for industrial exhibitions which led to the
Melbourne Exhibition of 1866. He was also publicly active as a
trustee of the Public Library, National Gallery of Victoria, and as
chairman of the Industrial and Technological Museums Committee.
In April 1869 the government of the day appointed Bindon as judge
of the County Court for Gippsland and after temporarily losing his
job in 1878 he was soon afterwards reappointed to cover all county
court duties for the colony with only two other judges. Overwork
undermined his health and he died in St Kilda 1st August 1879
aged 67. A Queensland rainforest tree, the Big-leaved Bollywood
(Litsea Bindoniana) is named in his honour

Western Australia; company settlement of Australind Rural Land Order,
‘Order of Choice’ certificate No.122 London 14th November 1840
named to William Storrs Fry of the Old Jewry London, a significant
document concerning colonial settlement in Western Australia;
accompanied by a handwritten letter dated 15 September 1886
from ‘Alfred’ to ‘John Henry’ concerning the latter’s father’s land at
Australind in which ‘Mr Clifton’ is mentioned, the document and letter
both in excellent condition.
Australind was a proposed development of an English-style village on
the Leschenault Inlet in Geographe Bay where it was anticipated horses
could be bred for the British Indian Army. Plans for the proposed town
were drawn up and 440 settlers arrived in 1841 with Marshall Clifton
being appointed to take charge. Within two years the settlement had
failed because of adverse conditions and little of the town planning
had actually taken place. Most of the land was eventually taken back
by the Crown and settlement plans were officially abandoned in 1875.
A small number of buildings constructed in the 1840’s still remain
today including Clifton’s residence, a church and the town’s first hotel
(built 1841: now Henton Cottage).
William Storrs Fry (1806-1844) married Juliana Sally Pelly in 1832,
she the daughter of Sir John Henry Pelly, a Captain of the East India
Company Service. John Henry Fry (born 1841) was the fifth child (of
seven) and second son of William and Juliana Fry.

plate “Presented by Nathaniel Stevenson of Braidwood to his sister
Elizabeth as a token of his affection, 1831”, a lovely piece with an
attributable origin and a worthy restoration project
Genealogical sources show that Nathaniel Stevenson of Braidwood
in Lanarkshire Scotland (born 1772) and his sister Elizabeth (born
1784) were the third son and fifth daughter of Janet (nee Maxwell)
and Nathaniel Stephenson. The two Nathaniels, father and son,
were Burgesses of Glasgow, the elder Nathaniel being a merchant
in Strang & Stevenson of Glasgow and the younger Nathaniel a
Justice of the Peace. Elizabeth Stevenson became the first wife
of William Falconer, a manager and partner in Muirkirk Ironworks,
although it appears the marriage didn’t last because Falconer
married again. Elizabeth died in 1869 aged 85, without issue.

H.Deutsch Ballarat c.1860s, a most interesting lot (3 items)
Herman Deutsch was a pioneer of engraving and lithography in
Australia. Silesian by birth and an engraver by trade, he set up
his business in Ballarat in August 1858. His firm was well known
for the lithographic printing of Ballarat streets and other scenes
by local artists, notably “The Ballarat Album”, as well as coloured
prints of the local mining industry. Herman sold out to one of his
employees in 1865 and invested heavily in Ballarat district mining
companies, but eventually suffered severe losses and was forced
into insolvency in 1870. It would seem that he left Victoria shortly
afterwards, possibly returning to Germany

The company was formed by members of the Royal Mail Steam
Packet Company and Pacific Steam Navigation Company in April
1852 to provide a monthly trans Pacific service, and a fleet of five
iron screw passenger/cargo steamers was ordered. In addition, a
smaller vessel was ordered to provide a feeder service between
Sydney and Port Philip. By the time the first steamer was delivered
in 1854 the whole scheme had been abandoned due to high coal
prices in the Pacific region, and the outbreak of the Crimean War
finally caused the winding up of the company

The company was formed in 1852 and provided the first regular
steamship service between the United Kingdom and Australia via the
Cape of Good Hope after being awarded a contract for the carriage
of mails by that route. However, the service proved so unreliable that
the mail contract was rescinded in April 1853. The outbreak of the
Crimean War in March 1954 caused the withdrawal of the service
as four of the company’s five ships were chartered by the British
Government for troop transport. The last remaining vessel was sold
in that year. The troop ships were returned to the company in 1857
but were laid up awaiting disposal. The company was finally wound
up in 1860 and the remaining vessels sold

John Foord was a pioneer who set off from Yass in 1838 with
1000 head of cattle in search of grazing land and took up a 30,000

Foord established a wharf, storehouse, flour mill and punt-crossing
at Wahgunyah to service the north-east Victorian goldfields. He
purchased land on the north bank of the river and created the
township of Corowa. Amongst other memorials, he is remembered
today by the heritage-listed John Foord Bridge (1892) linking
Corowa (NSW) with Wahgunya (Vic) which itself was central to the
Federation Conference held at Corowa in 1893

foundation shares from 1898 to 1913 – among these names are
Melbourne luminaries such as Thomas Bent, George Swinburne
and Elizabeth Beasby (Bent’s daughter). Contrary to the counterfoil
numbers, certificate numbers listed range from 3 to 60 with some
duplicated certificate numbers in the early 1900s. A nice lot indeed
The company was initially founded in London as the Australasian
Gas Association Limited 2nd Feb 1888 and incorporated 3rd
Feb of that year. Capital consisted of 49,4880 shares of £5 and
60 founder’s shares of £10. The Melbourne-based directors
comprised John Coates, Thomas Bent, Edward Noyes and George
Swinburne, and by 1890 had acquired gasworks at Benalla,
Shepparton, Wangaratta, Warragul, Maldon, Seymour and had
constructed a large gasworks at Box Hill to serve the eastern
suburbs of Melbourne. The company’s name changed to the
Colonial Gas Assn Ltd in 1893. At one point in the 1920s it was the
fifth largest gas producer in Australia. It was delisted after being
taken over by Colonial Gas Holdings Limited 21st Oct 1953, which
was subsequently subsumed by the Gas & Fuel Corporation of
Victoria after the introduction of natural gas supplies to the state
in the early 1970s
