Roxbury’s Auction House is set to offer collectors a unique chance to acquire some truly remarkable pieces as Auction 154 unfolds. According to the auction house’s director, Scott Waterman, “Auction 154 presents collectors with another opportunity to secure exceptional pieces, ranging from legendary Australian rarities to significant international issues.”
Among the highlights of this week’s auction is a rare 1914/15 “Rainbow Pound” emergency banknote. These one-pound notes hold historical significance as they were quickly produced without security features to address a currency shortage triggered by the outbreak of war. They were subsequently withdrawn from circulation in April 1915, making them a coveted item for collectors.
Furthermore, enthusiasts will have the opportunity to bid on an iconic 1813 New South Wales ‘Dump’, one of Australia’s earliest coins. This item adds to the allure of the auction, promising a fascinating blend of history and numismatic value.
For those eager to own these rare pieces of history, the bidding will commence at $17,500, setting the stage for an exciting auction event.
