<p>[QUOTE=&quot;JayAg47, post: 8265876, member: 112342&quot;]Australia was not a country until January 1 1901, before that it was a bunch of colonies, like your 13 states, however the landmass was called Australia for all intents and purposes. Although your coin says Australia, it is technically a British coin minted under the authority of the British in the Sydney mint.</p><p>This quote from Numista “Colonial Australia is a term used to describe the Australian continent during the period between 1788 to 1901 when Australia was under British colonial authority”.<a href="https://en.numista.com/catalogue/australia_colonial-1.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.numista.com/catalogue/australia_colonial-1.html" rel="nofollow">https://en.numista.com/catalogue/australia_colonial-1.html</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
