Company Achievements

Noble Numismatics was originally a wholly owned subsidiary of Spink & Son Ltd of London, founded 1666.

The company was established in Sydney as Spink & Son Australia in 1976 by the current managing director, W. James Noble. A Melbourne office was later opened in 1982 by the late Ray Jewell.

Since opening Noble Numismatics has conducted over seventy major public auctions, realising in excess of $150 million and achieving numerous Australian and world auction records. The company has handled many of the country's most important collections and deceased estates. The firm's expertise is backed by an experienced staff and our Sydney office is home to one of the world's major numismatic libraries.


Key achievements include:

  • Highest Australian numismatic auction realisation ($5.3 million, July 2005)
  • Highest Australian Commonwealth coin realisation at auction (a 1930 proof penny); $281,750
  • Highest Australian Commonwealth banknote realisation at auction; $297,075
  • Largest numismatic library in Australia


Noble Numismatics has also acted as valuator for the Australian Museum, the Museum of Victoria, numerous universities and several government departments at state and federal level.

Today the company continues its strong tradition by offering the highest standard of service to collectors.
