Australasian tokens and coins

This book was intended in the first place to be a catalogue of the Australian tokens and coins in the Mitchell Library. Its scope was enlarged to include descriptios of all known varieties, with a brief historical introduction. In these days it is hard to picture to oneself the conditions which prevailed in Australia at the beginning of the last century; but no description of the Tokens and Coins of this Commonwealth would be complete without some reference to the difficulties those in authority had to contend with and the steps taken to ameliorate their conditions and relieve their inconveniences.
