Coins with Mickel Smits DID YOU realize that you are in possession of a collection of pieces designed by a world-renowned craftsman? In fact, the craftsman himself may not have fathomed at the time he created them as to how profoundly these pieces would catapult his dreams of becoming a master in his work and le ful lling his life’s ambitions. Lifesty The artist is Stuart Devlin and the pieces I’m referring to lswan are the one cent through to one dollar coins in your purse the Be or pocket.

He was GREAT OFFERS however fortunate to have a mother who instilled in him and FROM BELSWAN his three siblings the value and virtue of working diligently IN 2014 and hard, as personi ed by his father who was apparently a perfectionist in his trade of painting and decorating. Along with his school teachers who recognized his talents and abilities, the young Devlin was inspired and encouraged to pursue his passion and in 1944, aged 13, he won his  rst scholarship; in metalworking. In 1957 he became an art teacher at Melbourne College which is now known as the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology. While teaching, he also studied part-time for a Diploma of Art in gold and silversmithing and impressively completed the three year course in one year achieving the highest marks ever awarded. This achievement gained him a scholarship to study at the Royal College of Art in Lon- don. In just two years he obtained two honours diplomas for which he was again rewarded with a Harkness Fellowship by the Commonwealth Fund - he chose to attend Columbia University in the United States for the following two years after which he returned to Australia in 1962 to continue his teaching commitments. Devlin rapidly climbed the ranks of the Department of Education to become the Inspector of Art Schools. During his years of teaching and pursuit of craftsman excellence, there was a movement gaining momentum in Australia to reform our currency. The decision to abandon the British-based currency system of pounds, shillings and pence (12 pennies constituted WE COULD BE BUILDING a shilling and 20 shillings made a pound) for a decimal system came about in 1959 following a recommendation of the Decimal Currency Committee. By 1963 it was proposed 10 shillings comprise one ‘Royal’ however the name ‘Royal’ proved to be unpopular and subsequently ‘dollars and cents’ was ultimately agreed YOUR HOME NOW! upon.
