  • Imperial and Colonial Coinages Paul Stevens

    Imperial and Colonial Coinages Paul Stevens

    IMPERIAL AND COLONIAL COINAGES PAUL STEVENS Introduction IN attempting to review the contribution of the Society to the numismatic knowledge of Britain's overseas territories, it is first necessary to determine the scope of such an undertaking. The British Empire was a dynamic concept that developed from the desire of the English to expand economi- cally, and was created by a variety of techniques such as: colonisation in North America, direct conquest in South-East Asia, convict colonies in Australia, and direct occupation of other colonial powers' territories such as the islands of the Mediterranean or Egypt. The control of these differ- ently-acquired territories started at different times, and ended at different times and in different ways. How then to determine the scope? I have chosen here to include coins and tokens that were issued under the direct control of institutions that were British, but to exclude coins that were issued by those authorities only nominally controlled by the British. So, for instance, coins issued from Maratha mints in India following their capture by the British would be included, but coins issued by the princes of the Indian Native States would be excluded. Once countries achieved dominion status, even if they still owed nominal allegiance to the British crown, their coins fall outside of the scope of this paper. This decision could be the subject of many debates. Just to chose one example, should Australian coins be excluded from the date of Australia achieving dominion status (1900); or after the Statute of Westminster ended the control of Britain over the affairs of Australia (1931); or when this measure was actually ratified by the Australian parliament (1942); or should present-day Australian coins be included on the grounds that Queen Elizabeth continues as Queen of Australia even today? A similar discussion could be had for each of the dominions, but this matter is better left for debate elsewhere.1 I have excluded coins of England, Scotland and Ireland because they are better covered elsewhere.
