Australia 1880–1910 Commercial Bank of Australia £100 specimen, PMG 64 Choice Uncirculated

Australia 1880–1910 - Commercial Bank of Australia £100 Specimen (Pick Unlisted)

The central vignette features an allegorical figure of Commerce, holding a caduceus and globe, framed by intricate lathe-work and industrial motifs representing trade, manufacturing, and the expansion of colonial wealth. The vertical inscriptions in both Chinese and English remain one of the most unusual design choices of any 19th-century Australian note. The Chinese inscription reads '新金山金媽士銀行', literally identifying the institution as the 'New Goldfields' or 'New Gold Mountain Commercial Bank', with '金媽士' functioning as a Cantonese phonetic rendering of 'commercial'. The opening characters '新金山', New Gold Mountain, were a Chinese name associated with Victoria and Australia during the gold-rush era, distinguishing the Australian goldfields from the earlier 'Gold Mountain' of California.

Australia 1877 - City of Melbourne Bank Limited £20 Specimen (Pick Unlisted)

The City of Melbourne Bank operated during a period when Victoria stood at the center of Australian financial power, fueled by gold-rush wealth and aggressive commercial expansion. Private banks competed directly for dominance, and their high-denomination notes functioned as instruments of confidence and institutional credibility rather than retail money.
