Australian Freehold Gold Mine, 20 shares, 1852, no.674, black with heavy blue underprint, scrollwork at left, about very fine.

A company formed on the Cornish 'Cost Book' principle similar to a handful of English companies formed in 1851/52. Not much is known of this company except that a group of about 50 employees of the company sailed from Bristol in the same year. In 1855 there was a Civil case brought before the Vice Chancellors Court in London because the company were accused of 'rigging the market' by buying their own shares to increase their value.
