A specialist reference work for numismatists and historians alike, Banks of Issue in Australia chronicles the fascinating history of paper currency in Australia from its earliest days in 1788. The book details notes issued by private banks between 1817 and 1932, notes issued by State Governments between 1893 and 1910, notes overprinted by the Australian Government, and the so-called Superscribed notes issued between 1910 and 1914. Authoritative and meticulously researched, it presents a comprehensive catalogue of Australian banknote history that remains an invaluable resource for collectors and economic historians. The work illustrates the evolution of Australia's monetary system through its formative colonial and federation periods, tracing the transition from private banking institutions to centralised government currency control.
