The definitive reference book on the banknotes used in Australia between 1913 and the present day.
Michael Vort-Ronald is without peer when it comes to researching and writing about Australian banknotes.
His passion for this area of our numismatic history has seen him unearth a huge amount of information on the background of all of Australia's banknotes, from the time before Federation to the present day.
His first book was on the banknotes used in Australia between 1913 and 1966 - our "Commonwealth" or pre-decimal period.
This definitive book on the history of Australian paper money covers:
* Background to the introduction of our very first Commonwealth currency in 1913
* Information on each of the designers of our pre-decimal notes;
* Extensive information on the different printing processes used;
