Welcome to Smalls Auctions Sale 322. In this sale, we continue to offer a diverse selection of modern coin issues from around the world, while also stepping back in time to present a rare and exceptional collection of Australian colonial coins. The 1813 ‘Holey Dollar’ is often considered the crown jewel of early Australian currency, but its lesser-known companion, the ‘Dump,’ struck in equal numbers, holds equal historical intrigue. This sale features three unique examples, plus a superbly detailed E3 Type Dump—believed to be among the first struck. A standout is the unique ‘Copper Factory Trial’ E3 Dump, likely the earliest surviving example. For comparison, we include a silver E3 Dump with impeccable provenance—one of only twenty-odd known. Also offered is a unique ‘Brass Trial’ A1 Type Dump showing the transition in reverse lettering, a rarity mirrored in only a few A1 silver Dumps. The collection concludes with the only known 1813 ‘Shilling Bit’—a quarter of a Holey Dollar, likely preserved after a trader realised it was struck from a counterfeit coin. Once owned by politician Henry Dangar and referenced in Coleman Hyman’s 1893 book, this piece is truly historic. Three of these four coins are unrepresented in national museums.
