[QUOTE="Wally69, post: 633852, member: 1916"] The one I posted was the one in circulation in Canada. It appears the one used here is identical to Wally69s image (which he notes is a copy) [url]https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/img/member-images/4386/1643942737_holey_dollar_nsw.jpg[/url] Thought I read somewhere that they were all struck from a load of coins diverted from the americas and there were different year mintages in the chest, so the base coins (Spanish Reales) can be different. Would be easy to have taken out a plug and make counterfeits in 1816 although if the base silver weight was the value, there would not have been much point beyond being able to give someone some change, which was the sole purpose of the NSW mint run, so plausible. Got mine off gumtree, will get a 1930 placeholder penny one day too. [/QUOTE]
