1865 Australia George Shenton One Pound Note

1865 Australia George Shenton One Pound Note

In West Australia, there are around nine private merchants that issued their own notes between the late 1800’s and the early 1900’s.

In terms of his influence on the colonial economy of Western Australia, George Shenton was arguably foremost among them, however his unissued one pound notes are the most affordable and accessible of all the private “shinplasters” issued in WA.

When we consider that only three examples of this important WA trader's note have turned up at auction over the past decade, that is quite remarkable.

A good amount of biographical information can be obtained online, needless to say he was a prominent businessman in the West Australian colonial economy right until his death in a shipwreck off Mandurah in 1867.

This unissued note is quite plain, but merchant issues of all types are numismatically important and generally very rare. -Editor
