Description

Tellers Reserve Cash, National Bank of Australasia Ltd, bound and ruled daily hand written ledger from 29 July 1909 to 25 December 1932, shows the movement of notes, gold coin, gold, debentures and silver coins received by denomination as sent by Head Office to Adelaide, inside front cover with attached printer's label from, 'Sands & McDougall of Adelaide' marked, 'No.5747 Date 24/6/1893'. Very fine and rare.

Interestingly, one thousand pound notes are recorded for the first time on 28 November 1914 and the volume of gold sovereign movements is still substantial but by 31 March 1924 it had reduced considerably and by 29 September 1924 it had all but dried up. An interseting insight into Australian currency history. Ex Banking and Currency Museum.
