1915 Standard design 261,883 summed-from-components

261,883 pieces

This is the figure other catalogues print for this coin. What it counts is below.

summed-from-components

Australia's whole coinage of this denomination for 1915, summed across 2 branches (Melbourne, Perth). Every part counts the same thing, issued, which is what makes the sum meaningful; it is still a report-year quantity and not a count of coins bearing the date 1915. 2 parts are POSITIONAL readings of a table the transcription flattens, with nothing to check against, so the sum is no firmer than that. The branch figures are on their own pages.

no-coin-dated-figure

Read POSITIONALLY from a table the transcription service flattens, with no value column available to check it against. The figure may belong to a neighbouring row. It is published at this lower standing rather than silently mixed with confirmed figures. No document here names how many coins were struck bearing the date 1915: every figure above counts a report year instead, which is a different quantity. Most published mintages are exactly this substitution made silently.

No document names how many coins were struck bearing the date 1913. This counts gold ISSUED from the Sydney branch during that calendar year. The row itself carries no year in the scan: the year is recovered by constraint, CUMULATIVE (one missing year) + ORDER. The page prints sterling, so its checksum is a plain sum, which a coin-and-bullion triple can also satisfy; the reading is labelled at that lower standing.

Adding them would produce a number that means neither. At least one part is confirmed by its own table: the sovereign and half sovereign figures imply the total value, which the table prints. The branch figures are on their own pages, and the date on a coin is a separate question again from any of them.

Australia struck this denomination at 2 branches in 1893, and each figure is here, but NO NATIONAL TOTAL IS GIVEN because they do not count the same thing: unstated against issued. Adding them would produce a number that means neither. At least one part is a POSITIONAL reading of a table the transcription flattens, with nothing to check it against, and carries that lower standing here too. The branch figures are on their own pages, and the date on a coin is a separate question again from any of them.

The Sydney branch issued none of these in 1884: the return prints a dash. No document names how many coins were struck bearing the date 1884. This counts gold coin ISSUED from the Sydney branch during that calendar year, which the return states and which is a different quantity. The reading is confirmed by the table's own arithmetic: sovereigns and half sovereigns close against the printed total under the unit that page uses.

summed-from-components

Australia's whole coinage of this denomination for 1883, summed across 2 branches (Sydney, Melbourne). Every part counts the same thing, issued, which is what makes the sum meaningful; it is still a report-year quantity and not a count of coins bearing the date 1883. 1 of 2 part is confirmed by its own table: the sovereign and half sovereign figures imply the total value, which the table prints. The branch figures are on their own pages.

Read from a table the transcription service flattens, and confirmed: the sovereign and half sovereign figures for Sydney 1869 imply a total value of £1,279,000, which the table prints. All three columns are therefore read correctly together. No document here names how many coins were struck bearing the date 1869: every figure above counts a report year instead, which is a different quantity.

What it is made of

Not copied from a table. Each row is the standard the instrument named beside it actually prescribed, and the fine metal weight is derived from that standard rather than looked up. Where a column says "not stated", the instrument does not state it and we will not supply a number it does not carry.

What the mints reported

These are not mintages by date, and this catalogue will not print them as if they were. They are what the Sydney, Melbourne and Perth branches reported striking, delivering or issuing during a report year. A single year's delivery routinely carried two dates: the 1958 report says florins and sixpences to a stated value "were dated 1957; the remainder of the coin delivered being dated 1958".

10 records. 10 of them are recorded in pounds sterling rather than in coins, because that is how the mints kept the books. 0 name the date borne by the coin.
