Ex D. Walsgott (lot 491) Collection and Dr. Alan Nicholson Collection, Sale 49 (lot 1684). The Royal Bank of Australia (1888-1927), is of some interest particularly as it utilised the same vignette and has some similarity in style to the defunct earlier Royal Bank of Australia (1840-1850). This new Royal Bank of Australia, remained small and conducted business in a cautious manner, consequently it survived the banking crises and crashes in the 1890's. It was eventually taken over by the E.S. & A Bank in 1927.
