George Capen Says.· During the past few days, I have analyzed this year's Alumni Fund, now at 33,500. Frankly, while I am not disheartened, the results so far are not encouraging. When the National Alumni Association accepted on behal f of all the alumni a goal of $50,000, it was done because we knew that all alumni realize the importance to Trinity of an outstanding faculty. We knew, too, that a successful campaign would depend on these two factors: ( 1) Increased contributions from those alumni who have given in the past, and ( 2) contributions from the large number of alumni who had not contributed previously. The increases are just not coming through, and the rate of new contributors is very disappointing. However, a cheering trend is the fine showing of our younger alumni, those of the Classes of '49, '50, and '51. I know that Trinity alumni are interested in the faculty both because of the importance of good teaching at the college and also in recognition of their own personal appreciation of the men still at Trinity who taught them. But we are going to have to do a lot better in this Alumni Fund if the increases in faculty salaries given last Sep­ tember are to be covered.

    AUSTRALIAN AUSTRALIAN GOLD OF KING GEORGE V Born June 3, 1865, King George V ascended the throne upon the passing of his father, King Edward VII, on May 6, 1910. Confronted with the First World War, the Roaring 20s reconstruction and the Great Depression, George V was destined to oversee one of the most tumultuous periods of European and, indeed, global history. The turmoil that enveloped his time in power is perfectly encapsulated by the history of the world’s most famous gold coin – the Sovereign.

    RARITIES FOR INVESTORS & COLLECTORS PRESERVE THE PAST. INVEST IN THE FUTURE. JUNE 2016 Rarities Great coin rarities have an edge that goes far beyond their scarcity. They reflect great moments in time and have a wonderful story to tell. It is an immense honour to own a great Australian coin rarity. It also is an education in the nation’s history. We invite you, and your family, to share the experience. FEATURED ITEMS: 19 3 0 Penn y It is a fact that every 1930 Penny that we acquire … is sold relatively soon after it is featured. We have formed the view that our clients respect our selection protocols. And are aware that we sell coins with the underlying aim of buying them back. 1921 Square Halfpenny The 1921 Square Halfpenny is evidence of the Labor Government’s grand plan in the 1920s to overhaul the nation’s coinage, and break away from British designs by introducing a uniquely Australian Penny and Halfpenny. Some say it was the rumblings of a Republican movement way ahead of its time. 1873 Half Sovereign Melbourne Mint From the day this 1873 Melbourne Mint Half Sovereign was struck, it was destined to become a prized collector piece. The striking is remarkable: the design is highly detailed.

  • The 1925 Shilling

    The 1925 Shilling

    The 1925 Shilling Jon Saxton This article documents an investigation into the Australian shillings of the nineteen- twenties. It started as a study of the 1925 shilling alone but its scope quickly became broader when the historical context of the 1925 coin was examined. It shows that the 1925 shilling is probably a genuine overdate, albeit one of a rather unusual type. It also shows that the 1928 shilling is a possible overdate. Australian shillings of the nineteen- twenties tell an interesting story and offer detailed insight into the operations of the Melbourne mint during its first years of Figure 1. The curved tail resembling part of forward-dating master tools. a 3 protruding from the upper part of the 5 led to the belief that the 1925 shilling is an Background overdate of the 1923 shilling.
