G Foreign Coins and Medals. Australia, Victoria, Adelaide pound, type two, 1852, date below crown within border, rev. value within border (KM.2; Fr.3), with lovely satiny lustre, tiny flaw or scratch intruding at bottom right obverse, extremely fine to about uncirculated, extremely rare and an exceptionally fine example of the classic first ‘sovereign’ struck in South Australia Gold was discovered in Victoria in 1850, but while gold fever soon struck the entire nation the Gold Rush itself caused enormous social strain. Those who had the fever left their jobs and homes, and their exodus created an unexpected strain in the newly populated territories, lack of employees for many businesses, and a sudden draining of currency from banks all over South Australia. By the following year, 1851, newly rich prospectors found themselves in possession of gold nuggets and dust which were difficult to spend. There was almost no hard cash anywhere, and so no economic stimulation was possible despite all this gold fever and new wealth. Something had to be done quickly. A bullion act was passed by the South Australian Legislative Council early in 1852 and signed into law by Lt-Gov Sir H.E. Young. Technically, the law had no power until approved by the governing authority in England, and this was applied for, but the situation could not tolerate delay. A temporary mint called the Government Assay Office was set up without delay in order to coin what were termed ‘ingots’ bearing designations of weight and fineness as well as the name of the issuing authority. By late August 1852, more than a million pounds’ worth of native gold had been logged in for assay by the Office. Dies for the unofficial but badly needed ‘coins’ were prepared. The now-famous 1852 Adelaide Pound was born. The reverse die almost immediately failed; a replacement was created with a design that varied slightly from the original. But the issue was interrupted soon thereafter by word received from England that the Assay Office was not a legal entity – the Crown refused the request to coin money in Australia. The bullion act had in fact been intended as only a stop-gap solution to the shortage of money, but the legislative council had not foreseen that its actions would be quite so short lived. As a result, the official mintage record stated that only 24,768 gold pounds were created before the experiment ended. And yet the troubles facing the first gold coins made in Australia were far from over. The coins were of high purity (22 carats, or nearly 92% pure gold), as it was intended that they should readily pass at the same value as the well-known gold sovereign. But, again, the best of intentions were curtailed: the coins quickly became subjected to speculation by profiteers, and a great many were bought in Victoria at face value and shipped to England to be melted, for a profit of nearly two shillings a coin. Nearly the entire mintage was soon melted, and it is believed that only approximately 250 pieces in all have survived, most bearing the design of the revised reverse die. These are what remain of the first Australian coins made of native gold ore.

1959 Royal Enfield Constellation Bike Year: 1959 Bike Make: Royal Enfield Bike Model: Constellation Bike Reg No.: XMR467A Bike Frame No.: 6149 Bike Engine No.: SMCA7636 Bike Colour: Alloy / Red / Black The west midlands factory of `the Enfield` produced many fine motorcycles, and some clunkers, which are still in production today, albeit in greatly modified form, on the Indian sub-continent.(Where the `Royal ` bit came from is unclear, maybe the Queen Mother rode a Bullet ?) One machine that definitely falls into the former category was the 700cc Constellation which in 1963 became the impressive 750 Interceptor to take on the offerings from BSA Triumph. Never really successful in terms of sales the big Royal Enfield twins were charismacho, to coin a phrase, but the struggle for oblivion was almost lost. Mr Honda`s 750 Four was coming out of the sun and the big heavy oil leaking dated flawed vibrating clunky upright parallel Brit twin was about to be shot down for good. Happily this was long after XMR 467A was born in 1959 at Royal Enfield`s Redditch facility, the saw tooth roof line of which can be seen still. A great improvement on it`s `500 Twin` predecessor which wasn`t very fast and the slightly more sporting Meteor and Super Meteor models, the `Connie` became the R.E. to have, should you want one. It still suffered a little from the quirky but standard issue oil tank, integral to the crankcase and prone to boil the 4 pints of oil within, which could soon become without via some of the joints if not scrupulously maintained. Braking and handling were considered adequate if not over effective considering the size and weight of these robust if idiosyncratic and individualistic machines. This bike was purchased in 1989 by the vendor from the estate of an old soldier. No work has been done on the machine since although it has been seen to run in the intervening period. A V5 is present, the condition looks to be very original and correct and with perhaps little more than cosmetic attention it could become a ride and restore proposition.
