The 225th Anniversary of Australian Proclamation Coins
Governor King's 1800 edict addressed a currency crisis afflicting the colony of New South Wales. A significant moment in Australian monetary history, Governor Macquarie brought 40,000 Spanish reales into the colony, modifying them by creating 'holey dollars' (outer rings) and 'dumps (centers). This innovative process led to the first currency minted in Australia.
