Welcome to Smalls Auctions Sale 190. We are again offering an assortment of Australian Modern Coin issues to tempt collectors of this series. We have looked at the websites of the major dealers for these issues and have set our reserve price at 50% or less of their current retail prices, so this is your opportunity to snare a bargain. Two items of seemingly little value but which are intriguing numismatically are the 2019 ‘Mr Squiggle’ Mint Set and the 2017 ‘Revisiting a Vision’ Two Cent issue. The 2019 Set contains a ‘Limited Edition One Cent Coin’ while the 2017 release is a ‘Two Cent Coin’ with a discarded Kangaroo reverse design which was first proposed by Stuart Devlin in 1966. Of course, in 1966 the Royal Australian Mint went with the ‘Feather- tailed Gilder Possum’ on the reverse of the One Cent coin and the Two Cent featured a ‘Frilled Neck Dragon Lizard’ both of which were designed by the incomparable Stuart Devlin. But what makes the 2019 One Cent and the 2017 Two Cent important is that they each feature the ‘Ian Rank-Broadley’ Portrait of Queen Elizabeth II on the obverse with both having unique making them doubly important for type collectors. And of course, the Sale also includes numerous permutations of the Coloured Two Dollar Coin series which seems to have captured the eye of collectors. Also included in the Sale is a run of New Zealand Proof Sets. It escaped our notice that over the last ten or so years the mintages of the yearly Proof sets have been significantly reduced resulting in world-wide demand often outstripping supply. It doesn’t hurt also that they mostly feature the incredible and distinct fauna of the Shaky Isles. On offer also is a collection of Australian Decimal Notes in mixed grade that will allow you to purchase some of the scarcer signature combinations for little outlay. This is a continuation of the affordable Pre-decimal banknotes offered in the preceding sale. We thank you for your continued participation on our Sales Smalls Auctions
