NRS-13164 | Gold returns book

This volume appears to record quantities of gold received and issued by the Mint. The statistics for gold received are shown on a monthly basis and are divided into the various mining districts of New South Wales, each Australian state, New Zealand, New Guinea and foreign countries. The figures for gold issued are under three headings: sovereigns, half-sovereigns and bullion. On the basis of marginal notes it appears that this volume was a working document from which various statistical returns were prepared.
