BRITISH AUSTRALIAN GOLD MINING CO.
Description: 1852 LONDON/SYDNEY. 20 Shares of £1. black on blue paper. No 37541-60. One of the earliest Australian gold-mining shares known to us. Company founded 1852. The mine was clearly in the first New South Wales or Victoria fields, both of which started mining gold in this same year of 1851 (and leading to a gold-rush like that of California two years earlier). The company had offices in London and Sydney.
