1965 Bank of Adelaide Centenary Commemorative Coin Paperweight
This scarce paperweight commemorates a major event in this proud bank's history.
The Bank of Adelaide was founded in 1865, and celebrated 100 years of continuous operations in 1965. It played an important role in South Australia's economy right up until it was taken over by the ANZ Bank in 1979.
The Bank chose to commemorate the occasion of their hundredth anniversary in a number of ways, one of them was by having a small number of perspex paperweights manufactured containing a series of Australian coins representing those seen in circulation at that time.
Research by Mick Vort Ronald indicates that 2,000 such paperweights were made in Japan, they look to have been variously gifted to staff and valued customers.
It is an attractive and affordable reminder of the heyday of numismatics in Australia.
