Australian Commonwealth Coinage
A series of web pages where you will find a fair amount of information on Australian pre-decimal coinage, with an emphasis on die varieties. What you will not find is any estimate of coin values. Instead what you'll (eventually) find is information about each and every variety of every coin in the Australian Commonwealth series. This is intended to be a reference site.
