Proclamation coins from Europe

These coins are keenly sought-after in Australia and worldwide. They are referred to as Proclamation coins in Ausatralia following Governor King's 1800 proclamation that certain internationally-circulating coins would have a value in the Australian colony higher than elsewhere. This was intended to retain in the fledgling economy an adequate supply of coinage. The following items have been selected for their visual attractiveness, historic significance and strong investment potential.
