BRITISH COINS, George II, half guinea, 1745, LIMA, intermediate laur. head l., rev. crowned shield of arms (S.3684; Schneider 602), a beautiful specimen, lustrous and evenly struck with a bold portrait and royal shield, only tiny abrasions in the soft nearly pure gold, in plastic holder, graded by PCGS as Mint State 61, exceedingly rare in this grade A Lima guinea in extremely fine has just been sold for £31,200. British coins marked with the bold capital letters LIMA are storied survivors of a grand moment in history. Reminiscent of the Vigo coins from Queen Anne’s reign, these celebrated a much grander victory and a far larger treasure trove, taken on the high seas from the Spanish. The Vigo and Lima silver coins are of about equal scarcity, and many collectors own examples. The gold pieces are another story. Lustrous and choice-looking examples remain elusive and are collecting prizes. The middle of the eighteenth century was the great era of sailing ships, and the end of privateering by buccaneers, whose piracy at sea reached its zenith a century earlier in the West Indies. By tradition, crews shared in captured prizes, adding incentive for crews to be included on any buccaneering mission. The spirit of those adventurers still resonated in the British Navy when Commodore George Anson set sail with a squadron of warships on 18 September 1740, hoping to locate and to attack Spanish galleons laden with silver and gold mined in South America. It was a voyage requiring much skill and great courage; and the commander of the squadron was ready for the challenge. Born in 1697, Anson was by 1740 an experienced navigator and captain, commissioned as a lieutenant in 1716 and having taken part in Admiral Byng’s victory in August 1718 at Cape Passaro. He was promoted to commander in 1722, charged with capturing smugglers in the North Sea. By 1724, he had been promoted to post-captain in command of a frigate sailing off the coast of South Carolina to protect British ships from Spanish pirates, and from the end of 1737 until late 1739 his ships did similar duty off the west coast of Africa and in the West Indies. As commodore, Anson set off from England in the autumn of 1740 with a squadron of eight ships manned by marines, charged with attacking the Spanish navy in the Pacific. Little did Anson realize that this was destined to be a voyage around the world that would become famed for its success. Anson’s ships reached treacherous Cape Horn at the height of a terrible storm and most of the squadron was unsuccessful at clearing the cape into calmer seas. Two ships gave up and turned back for England. Others were wrecked. Only Anson’s flag ship and two warships got through to the Pacific, with a loss of hundreds of crew. On the three ships remained just 335 sailors and marines, of the 961 original crews. But the long voyage was just beginning! Months later, Anson’s force attacked and sacked the town of Paita in Peru, although the reward was small. Anson pressed onward, with the original goal firmly in mind despite all his setbacks. He aimed to attack the Spanish Manila-Acapulco fleet and capture its treasure. His crew was shrinking as disease took its toll on his men, and deprivation made two of the ships unseaworthy. All the crew was moved to his flagship, the Centurion, and they sailed west for the coast of China, arriving at Tinian by the end of summer 1742. They stayed ashore for months. Rested and restored, Anson’s crew and warship finally steered for the Philippines. On 20 June 1743, they spotted the treasure galleon Nuestra Señora de Covadonga off Cape Espiritu Santo, engaged the largely unprotected Spanish ship, won the brief sea battle, and took possession of its treasure. To their disappointment, most of the Spanish treasure fleet had already sailed, but the Covadonga was no small prize. They discovered in its hold hundreds of thousands of pieces of eight and gold cobs mined and crudely minted at Lima, Peru. They sailed for home around the Cape of Good Hope, but they and their prize were nearly captured by a French fleet in the English Channel before at last anchoring safely at Spithead on 15 June 1744. The tons of silver and gold were offloaded and carried by wagons along a parade route to the Mint in London. The total treasure was found to be nearly a million pounds in value, including proceeds from their sale of the Spanish galleon. Anson was cheered as a national hero and promoted to rear admiral. His share of the booty made him a wealthy man, but he continued to serve the Royal Navy, eventually being promoted to Admiral of the Fleet in 1761. He remained at sea in command of warships in 1746 and 1747, after which he oversaw naval reforms and advances in ship designs in the Admiralty Office. Numerous ships of the Royal Navy have been named after him but none has endured as a remembrance of his greatest victory for as long as the silver and gold coins marked LIMA in his honour by royal warrant. Many collectors worldwide own a silver coin made from this Spanish treasure but few are lucky enough to secure even one example of the Lima gold with old tickets

†FOREIGN COINS, Australia, ‘holey dollar’, 1813, struck on a Lima portrait 8 reales of Carlos IV, 1807JP, counterstamped FIVE SHILLINGS, floral base around inner beaded circle about the central hole, legend not inverted but aligned with that of the Spanish coin, rev. remnant of the classic pillars image counterstamped NEW SOUTH WALES 1813 inverted around the inner beaded circle (KM.2.13), some light surface marks on host coin, otherwise about very fine, the countermark very fine, rarely offered for sale in this country and a good example of Australia’s first coin Australia’s first coin is nothing less than an emblem of exploration and discovery. For forty thousand years, only indigenous people inhabited this huge island in the South Pacific, and it was Captain James Cook who first stepped ashore in 1770, claiming the vast uncharted territory for Great Britain. It was an unknown land. Explorers would come over the following decades, slowly forging inland, but in the main Australia was a prison camp focused on a tiny bit of land; England’s courts sent the first cargo of condemned prisoners on a fleet that arrived in 1778 under the command of Arthur Phillip. Eight years before, in Cook’s party, Joseph Banks was aboard Cook’s ship, HMS Endeavour. Banks was a naturalist, so impressed by what he discovered when first arriving at port – plants, insects and animals unknown in Europe – that he dubbed the place Botany Bay. The prisoners being transported from England were less impressed, facing a life of indenture and hardship, and they were deprived of the wonders of Botany Bay when Captain Phillip decided on Port Jackson as the site of their new home. Phillip called the penal colony Sydney Cove in honor of secretary of state Lord Sydney. The colony immediately became a constitutional autocracy under control of a governor selected by a company formed in England in 1789, in effect a military regiment that oversaw the prisoners and other settlers after the royal marines that were part of Phillip’s fleet departed. The ruling company was called The New South Wales Corps. New South Wales was a harsh land. Agriculture was not easily established. Food was in short supply for the original 778 convicts and their keepers. Most of the convicts were professional thieves lacking skills needed to survive in the new land. But most survived and beginning in 1791 ships regularly arrived with additional prisoners, settlers and supplies from England. Slowly, convicts were emancipated and granted plots of land, and trade with the home country began. A whaling industry started, manned in part by retired soldiers and marines. A settler named John MacArthur formed a wool industry which became the colony’s first important source of exports. Several new towns near the original settlement were established by 1815, all engaged in raising sheep. The rum trade became corrupt, ending in a military rule of the colony from 1808 until 1810. The next decade experienced increased immigration of free settlers. By 1825, New South Wales had its own legislative council. A vast new land would soon open up to further exploration and development, and by 1840 the transportation of convicts was abolished. Australians were then all free people. Hard, real money had been a problem since the founding of the colony. During the nineteenth century, scores of independent merchants issued ‘small change’ money, tokens bearing curious images of the land, in large numbers, but the only official money for decades consisted of Spanish silver 8 reales (dollars) out of which the centres were cut and a local value was inscribed by way of counterstamps. These are what we today call the ‘holey dollars’. Unknown quantities of 8 reales struck at various Spanish mints were the host coins, all dated from the middle of the eighteenth century into the early nineteenth century. These were chosen for their proven inherent value, based on their silver content. They became the standard coin for New South Wales. By the condition of most known examples, they were used long and hard, in local trade and for export. When gold was discovered near Bathurst in 1851, much of the population of New South Wales and other districts of the expanding country rushed to the gold fields, and within a year prospecting settlers thronged to the land from abroad. New discoveries of gold opened up more gold fields during the 1850s, and the former penal colony became transformed. Colonies became territories. Intense rivalries grew between territories. Commerce rapidly developed, and gold was its basis. The so-called ‘easy gold’ petered out within a decade of discovery, but mining had become a major industry across the land. The company BHP Billiton, which began in New South Wales as a silver miner in the 1880s, became a major producer of copper and other metals. Sydney became a centre for business. By the end of the nineteenth century, little more than a century after it was discovered by Cook, New South Wales had become one of the commercial focuses of the modern world. Its first money, the holey dollars made from highly valued Spanish silver, had been long forgotten and most had perished in melting pots as unwanted – mere relics of a penal colony that formed the basis for the development of a modern nation.
