<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Wehwalt, post: 2916803, member: 33595&quot;]I&nbsp; was given a copy of &quot;Rennick&#039;s Australian and New Zealand Token Values&quot; (1st edition, 2012), which on p. 68 says this one was minted by Heaton &amp; Sons along with a 1d. They are priced from AU$20 on up, which is the minimum listing price.</p><p><br /></p><p>These tokens generally were issued because of a shortage of small change in Australia and New Zealand in the 19th century. After the British converted from copper to bronze in 1860, they seem to have made more of an effort to send quantities of small change to the Antipodes and the tokens were demonetized between 1863 and 1881, depending on which colony.</p><p><br /></p><p>The reverse is one of a number of stock reverses based on the British copper coinage.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
