There were 1.32m coins minted by Sydney, Melbourne 1.63m. Perth 4.37m Source Renniks 30^th edition 2020.

There is no logic as to why, Sydney minted coins, seem to be less in price, EG: Perth Mint?

The price of gold as struck in 1915 was Ten Pound Sterling,

This coin stands alone for it’s established history, and price.

As this was prior to Commonwealth coinage & banknotes.

There 2 sources of disposable currency, these being Gold at the seat of and backed by gold reserves held by The Chancellor of the Excequer.A guarantee of payment.

The other option were Pre Federation banknotes, issued and underwritten by banks of time- 1823-1911. There was no gaurantee of payment, as all banks were underwritten by incoming funds. A wonderful “Ponsi Scheme”  of the 19^th Century.

Most banks “fell over” with very few surviving.
