2013 Australia Holey Dollar and Dump PNC
$35.00
This 2013 Australian Postage and Numismatic Cover commemorates the historic Holey Dollar and Dump, introduced in New South Wales in 1813 by Governor Lachlan Macquarie. Created by punching the centre out of Spanish silver dollars, the coins helped address a shortage of currency in the early colony.
The Holey Dollar and Dump became Australia's first distinctive colonial coinage and an important part of the nation's numismatic history.
