Welcome to Smalls Auctions Sale 237 This Sale we have 400 Lots of Coins, Banknotes, Jewellery and Objet d’art pitched at the collector. Scattered amongst the coins are some high-grade Australian and World coins including a rare Ionian Islands 1820 Proof 2 Lepta PCGS PR63 BN. The Ionian islands are an archipelago that includes the Island of Corfu (home to the Durrells) which were under British control from 1809 to 1864 when they were ceded to Greece. This is why the coin features the iconic ‘Brittania’ seated reverse with a version of the ‘Lion Rampant’ on the obverse, both elements of British coinage and a truly stunning combination that represents the height of coin design. The individually PCGS-graded Indian proof coins are also worth mentioning. This country recently passed China as the most populous nation on Earth and with a burgeoning middle-class full of collectors it is not hard to imagine a rapid escalation in the price of coins with small mintages just like that which occurred in China over the past few decades. The Indian proof issues such as the 1950 and 1954 coins which were struck in very small numbers portend to be the boom series of the upcoming decade. There is a solid selection of Australian Pre-decimal and Decimal Banknotes from collector grade to Uncirculated to satisfy the majority of collectors. For the politically inclined I would recommend the Soviet Union Illustrated Monthly Magazines which capture in pictures and words the industrious nature of its smiling citizens building a better future based on communism. These magazines were the ultimate propaganda tool of the State and were published across the World in different languages to project the superiority of communism over capitalism as the Soviets compared themselves more favourably with the progress of Western nations, particularly the United States. They certainly make interesting reading. Smalls Auctions.
