The issue is subject of a forthcoming paper published by the Australian Numismatic Society by Trevor White, who states that tokens were mentioned in annual reports from 1933 - 1938 as token funds to the value of Å“13.9.9. He notes the comparisons of similar tokens used by the Royal Tasmanian Yacht Club for gambling purposes (presumably on poker machines). A copy of this article is included with the lot.
