All Blacks back in black!TINY MINTAGE JUST 3,000 COINS!

See the Order Form

for more official New

Zealand Rugby coins!

A stunning sequel to the sought after All Blacks Silver Fern $1 offered below, the second coin in New Zealand’s All Blacks Series is defined by a tiny

mintage, outstanding presentation and, most of all, a sensational design! An officially licensed All Blacks product, struck to Proof quality from 1oz .999 silver, this fine piece of precious metal minting honours Te Rauparaha’s ‘Ka Mate’ haka. Perfectly accommodated by the 40mm flan, the design depicts the All Blacks performing this famous pre-match ritual, with three players wearing the traditional black strip of New Zealand’s Rugby Union side. Also

featuring edge-lettering

– ‘Ka mate, Ka mate! Ka ora, Ka ora!’ (Will I die! Or will I live!) – you could conceive of no finer tribute to one of the most celebrated elements of international sport. Given the barnstorming demand for the first coin in the series, and the excitement generated by what will arguably be the biggest year in New Zealand rugby history, it is a shock that the mintage has been set at just 3,000. With a sell-out of that meagre figure inevitable, our allocation has naturally been tightly restricted, and we have a very small number of coins available. ■ Official legal tender

– and an approved All Blacks licensed product

■ Exclusive All Blacks tribute! Worldwide mintage a mere 3,000 coins!

■ Struck from 1oz of .999 fine silver – measures 40mm in diameter

■ Set in a black leatherette case with a numbered Certificate of Authenticity

And Australia’s Men of Gold!

New 2011 Roo at Sunset BU!

NOW IN STOCK AT DOWNIES! Following a surprise acquisition, Downies is delighted to be able to give our clients the chance to secure the 2011 $1 Roo at Sunset 1oz Silver BU! As the perfect partner to its highly sought after predecessors, and a must-have for those who missed out in 2009 and 2010, our tiny allocation from the mintage of 7,000 means that time is of the essence for those keen to enjoy Australia’s finest modern coin design. Capturing the spirit of the Australian Outback,

and beautifully accommodated by the broad, crown-sized 40mm diameter flan, that design is truly magnificent. Internationally acclaimed, having been nominated for Krause’s Peoples Choice Coin of the Year, this spellbinding motif was the key to the huge success of the 2009 & 2010 $1 Roo at Sunset 1oz Silver BU coins – both of which sold out at super speed. Struck by the RAM for The Fabulous 15 Silver Crown Collection, and graced with a ‘F15’

privy mark, we knew that interest in this distinctively Australian precious metal coin would be huge. Despite our best efforts, however, we have been able to source only a very small number of examples of this official Australian legal tender issue. Immediate action is a must!

Unique full-colour 50c type!A landmark Australian legal tender release, as only the second full-colour 50c issued individually by the RAM, this eye-catching coin forms a sensational addition to the commemorative 50c series – and a must-have for all Aussie coin collectors!

Issued to mark the 50th anniversary of the Triple Zero Emergency Call Service, the vibrant design honours the three arms of the Emergency Services – police, fire brigade and ambulance. Uniting the instantly recognisable colours of the respective services

with the Emergency Call Service Triple Zero logo, the reverse carries a truly spectacular full-colour design. Set in a RAM card, demand for this unusual full-colour issue will be huge – especially given that it will not be issued for circulation! Never to be found in change, this one-year-only type is a

2012 Year of the Dragon

Silver BU Series has been met with devastating demand. Indeed, although this is the first chance we have had to offer this series to our clients in Money,

our allocations have already been severely depleted, with the 2012 $1 Year of the Dragon 1oz Silver BU already SOLD OUT! A fantastic opportunity to enjoy the sheer excellence of the Perth Mint’s precious metal coin production, we do, thankfully, have stock available of the Mint’s other 2012 Year of the Dragon Silver BU issues. Providing an option for everyone, this outstanding .999 fine silver series

A viable option for anyone seeking to add precious metal to his or her portfolio, these highly desirable silver coins will be hotly pursued by collectors worldwide. Whatever your motivation, we highly recommend immediate action.

Dragon Gold 1oz already sold out at Downies!

Pure silver united with genuine JADE!

As with the silver issue above, initial demand for the Perth Mint’s 2012 Year of the Dragon Gold BU Series has proved overwhelming. With Downies allocation of the 1oz coin already sold out, time is of the essence for those of our clients interested in securing a coin from one of the world’s leading gold bullion series.

this stunning Year of the Dragon coin is most notable for the ring of genuine Burmese jade! Struck to Proof quality from 2oz .999 fine silver, this exclusive legal tender release

Although our original stock of the 1oz has been wiped out, we are pleased to announce that we have a wide variety of 2012 Year of the Dragon Gold BU coins available. Highlighted by the 18.60mm $15 1/10oz and 22.60mm $25 1/4oz coins, this series includes coins from the 1/20oz up to the 10 Kilo – all struck from .9999 fine gold.

Mint’s gold bullion continues to soar – as exemplified by the sell-out of the 30,000-coin mintages of the 2008, 2009 and 2010 Lunar 1oz Gold issues. The demand for the 2012 Lunar 1oz is indicative that this series is certain to be targeted by precious metal investors. With this in mind, you must not ignore this early opportunity to secure a coin from the 2012 Year of the Dragon Gold BU Series.

Center at Peking University, the jade ring brings balance and beauty to a coin of unprecedented splendour. With the mintage restricted to a mere 2,888, we secured only a tiny allocation of coins – each housed in an official case with a numbered Certificate

for Lunar collectors, the Three-Coin Set comprises the huge crown-sized 39.34mm $100 1oz, the 22.60mm $25 1/4oz and 18.60mm $15 1/10oz. Struck to Proof quality, and featuring a dramatic portrayal of a lithe, powerful dragon, each of these exquisitely

struck, pure .9999 gold coins is also available individually. But you will have to be quick! Despite the known popularity of the dragon, and the anticipated demand for all Year of the Dragon issues, the Perth Mint has refused to increase the mintages of this highly desirable Australian legal tender

issue. Forming one of the Mint’s most exclusive collector programs, the 2012 Year of the Dragon Gold Proof Three Coin Set and the individual 1oz coin has been restricted to a mere 3,000 apiece! The limited edition of both the individual 1/4oz and the 1/10oz coins has been restricted to a mere 5,000 each! A prestigious addition to any collection, each official Perth Mint issue is set in the plush confines of an official display case, complete with a numbered Certificate of Authenticity.

NEW LUNAR TRIBUTES UNVEILED!

Distinguished by a

fascinating, sharply detailed

design, and honouring what is undoubtedly the most famous of the twelve Lunar year-signs, the 2012 Year of the Dragon Australian legal tender coins are sure to be the most sought after of the RAM’s Lunar Series. Struck to Proof quality, the 1/10oz .9999 gold $10 is the most prestigious element of the 2012 series – and the most exclusive. Set in a RAM case with a

numbered Certificate of Authenticity, this 17.53mm Proof coin has a tiny mintage of just 2,500! An affordable, yet prestigious gift, the 25mm 11.66g .999 silver Proof is also set within an official RAM case, accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity confirming the strictly limited edition of 10,000. Not to be issued for circulation and a must-have for a complete $1 collection, the 25mm al-bronze Year of the Dragon $1 is just as important to

collectors as it is to Lunar buyers. A great gift for anyone born in the Year of the Dragon (1916, 1928, 1940, 1952, 1964, 1976, 1988 or 2000), each coin is available at Official Issue Price.

COMPLETE AAT PREDECIMAL STAMP SET!

As a result of a surprise acquisition

of original sheets of Australian Antarctic Territory (AAT) philatelic issues, we are now in a position to offer the COMPLETE AAT predecimal stamp collection – in Blocks of Four! Used by personnel at AAT bases, and also valid for use in the general Australian postal system, the very first issues of

the AAT encompassed seven different stamps. Highlighted by the first AAT stamp, the sought after 1957 Map of Antarctica 2/-, and the 1961 Mawson 5d, the set also includes the 1959 5d, 8d, 1/- & 2/3d, plus the 1961 Blue Explorers 5d. Issued in comparatively low numbers, and naturally scarce in top grade today, this comprehensive Block of Four collection features

all seven predecimal AAT types issued during this short-lived series. Stashed away at the time of issue in original sheets, and including an array of key Australian varieties, each Block of Four is in superior Mint Unhinged condition.

The compulsory complement to the predecimal stamps offered above, our recent bulk acquisition of early Australian Antarctic Territory (AAT) stamps means we can also present the first AAT decimal philatelic issues – in Block of Four format!

Issued at the dawn of the decimal era in 1966 – barring the 5c, which was issued in 1968 – the AAT’s first decimal stamp release comprises a whopping ELEVEN

different types. Issued in denominations from 1c to $1, this series is hotly pursued by philatelists across the globe – in part due to the splendid portrayal of a wide array of iconic Antarctic scenes, and in part due to the general scarcity.

As these stamps were found in original sheets, we have the unusual opportunity to offer these key Australian philatelic types in Blocks of Four. Rarely offered in this format, each Block of Four is

in guaranteed pristine Mint Unhinged condition.

CORONATION COMMEMORATIVE!

An iconic rarity spawned by the Depression, like the 1930 Penny, the 1932 Sydney Harbour Bridge 5/- is one of the most desirable issues in Australian philatelics.

One of the most sought after misprints in philatelics, it is believed that from 1.6 billion stamps issued, there were less than 1,200 18c Wildflower Error stamps printed – all MISSING the country, denomination and inscription! Complete with a standard stamp to illustrate the dramatic nature of the mistake –

Issued by accident as the sun set on the predecimal era, we have just a few examples of the 1963 5d Stamp Block of 9 Imperforate Left & Right Pair! Produced in an unusual uncut formation of 288 stamps, each 1963 5d stamp sheet included 42 imperforate in between panes and 36 imperforate on margin. This meant that a variety of imperforate configurations were possible for this ‘Royal Definitive’ issue, including the two Blocks of Nine offered here. An unusual error pair, never before offered by Downies, one Block

Downies at the Block Arcade!Downies, Australia’s leader in coins and banknotes, with nearly 80 years experience in the industry, is proud to have established a prominent place on the Australian commercial landscape. We are just as proud to be associated with one of Melbourne’s most iconic buildings – the historic, grandiose Block Arcade. The Block Arcade, where Downies’ Melbourne retail outlet, Block Arcade Coins, has been domiciled for nearly two decades, and where you will also find Downies Australian Coin Auctions,

was originally the home of Briscoe’s Grain Bulk Store from 1856 to 1883. George & Georges Drapers, which would ultimately become ‘George’s’, Melbourne’s most exclusive department store, occupied the building until a catastrophic fire in September of 1889 – a fire that took the lives of three firemen and caused £200,000

damage.

Following the acquisition of what was clearly a prime piece of real estate, a group of local businessmen commissioned the architect David C. Askew to design a shopping arcade, which was erected from 1891 to 1893. Given a remit to replicate the Galleria Vittoria in Milan, Askew’s union of a mosaic tile floor, glass canopy and superb mix of wrought iron

and carved stone finishings created one of Melbourne’s most ornate interiors.

Originally named Carpenter’s Lane, the arcade was widely known as ‘The Block’, and ‘doing The Block’ became one of Melbourne’s most fashionable Saturday shopping traditions. Some things never change, and the Block Arcade’s reputation as one of Melbourne’s most appealing shopping experiences remains as powerful as ever. Indeed, window shopping in the Block Arcade is one of the ‘100 Great Things to do in Melbourne for under $10’!Proud to be part of such a key element of Melbourne’s heritage, we would love our clients to visit our Melbourne retail outlet in person, and take

in one of Melbourne’s most grandiose, most historic buildings. Tours of the Block Arcade are held on a daily basis, and with a tremendous variety of shops on hand – including Downies of course! – why not head to the city and enjoy an afternoon combining your love of coins with a truly enchanting, engrossing journey combining the best of the Victorian Age with the best in modern Victorian culture.

The superb façade of the Block Arcade has been described as one of Australia’s best surviving examples of the Victorian Mannerist style

Retaining its original 19th century splendour, the Block Arcade remains one of Melbourne’s most iconic tourist attractions

An astonishing record of the fire in 1889 that destroyed the building in which the Block Arcade was subsequently built

Just as importantly, the series will, as always, appeal to the ever-increasing number of people seeking to add precious metal to their portfolios. The ongoing global economic difficulties continues to inspire unprecedented demand for silver, and the Perth Mint’s Government-guaranteed Kookaburra coins – considered one of the world’s most trusted precious metal investment alternatives – have naturally been targeted by investors worldwide.

Indicative of the recent interest in the series, the 300,000-coin mintage of the 2008, 2009 and 2010 1oz Kookaburras completely sold out, with the increased 2011 mintage of 500,000 also devastated within months!With the surging global demand for silver showing no signs of abating, and given the immense quality of this new series, it is rightly anticipated that the 2012 Kookaburra coins will continue the
