Description

Eden Manly, one shilling, undated (c1911-14), in aluminium (25mm). A small indentation near centre of star on obverse, otherwise very fine and extremely rare.

Eden Gardens commenced operating at the start of 1911 on the corner of Wentworth Street and South Steyne (on the southeast corner). It was an open air/under canvas venue for stage acts and music, where one could partake of delicious Neapolitan ices or sip coffee, during the summer months. It was closed during winter. Sometime soon after WWI it became known as the Paris Gardens. With research. Ex Carl Veen Collection.
