Comment
Taylor & Challen knew the Royal Australian Mint was re organising to introduce decimal currency planned for February 1966. They set up a coining press at the Exposition in 1964, and was handing out these brass tokens for free, to help market their services and products.http://www.coincommunity.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=107624
