    Another numi curio here
    Issued by the Sydney Coin Club to mark the conversion to decimal currency.Not sure if it was issued in 1966.Reputed to be Sterling. Has no Cert or other documentation.Google search has proved fruitless.
    Any clues?

    Thanks ,Hiho .I did come across this PDF ,in my searches.

    Not very full some in the description ,though.Looking for an issue date.It might not be 1966.AND some info on mintage.
    Either way ,I like the historical aspect of it and the coin and case are in fine condition.

    Might have to give the boffins at Coin and Banknote Magazine a go at it.

    Cheers :)
