Comment
Two hundred years ago, the first Australian coins were coined, which arose from Spanish coins. The governor of the colony, Lachlan Macquarie, imported a batch of 40,000 reales from eight and ordered a central circle to be extracted from each piece, resulting in the obtaining of two independent silver coins: the outer ring, called "Holey Dollar", and a central piece, known as "Dump".Interesting fact
The Australian Holey Dollar and Dump coin is a unique and interesting coin, as it has a hole in the center, which gives it the name "Holey Dollar." This feature was originally designed to prevent the coin from being used as a regular currency, as it was meant to be collected and not spent. The coin also has a unique design, featuring the Spanish coat of arms on one side and the image of a ship on the other. Additionally, the coin is made of silver, which gives it a distinctive shine and adds to its collectible value. Overall, the Australian Holey Dollar and Dump coin is a fascinating piece of numismatic history that is sure to interest coin collectors and enthusiasts.
