You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 3.87.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 11:04, 19 October 2026.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

The '''pound''' was the currency of the [[Australia]]n [[Territory of New Guinea]] between 1915 and 1966, and replaced the [[New Guinean mark]] when Australia occupied the former [[German colonial empire|German]] colony at the end of [[World War I]]. The New Guinean pound was subdivided into 20 [[shilling]]s, each of 12 [[penny|pence]], and was equal to the [[Australian pound]].

No banknotes were ever issued; all denominations larger than one shilling were Australian currency.

The [[Australian pound]] currency circulated alongside coins issued specifically for New Guinea between 1929 and 1945.<ref>http://en.numista.com/catalogue/nouvelle_guinee-1.html Numista</ref> New Guinean coins ceased to be produced in 1945.

Between 1942 and 1945, the [[Japanese government-issued Oceanian Pound|Oceanian pound]] circulated, issued by the [[Japan]]ese occupiers. Australian coins and banknotes resumed circulation after the war and continued until the [[Papua New Guinean kina]], which was introduced on 19 April 1975, replaced the [[Australian dollar]] at par. The Australian dollar continued to be legal tender in PNG until 1 January 1976 when it was withdrawn.

==Coins==

In 1929, nickel halfpennies and pennies, as well as cupro-nickel pennies were introduced. These (as well as all subsequent New Guinean coins) were holed. The inscription on the [[Obverse and reverse|reverse]] read: ''Georgius V. D G Rex et Ind. Imp.'', which translates from Latin as, "[[George the Fifth]], by the Grace of God King and [[Emperor of India]]". The inscription on the obverse reads ''Territory of New Guinea.''  These coins are extremely rare, as they were withdrawn shortly after being released.

These coins were followed in 1935 by threepences, sixpences and shillings.

The following year, pennies were minted depicting [[King Edward VIII]]. That was relatively rare because Edward abdicated less than eleven months after succeeding to the throne, meaning that most [[Dominion]]s and colonies which featured the British monarch on their currency had not yet redesigned their coins. Coins of varying denominations were minted under the reign of [[George VI]], beginning in 1938. In 1945, production of New Guinean coins ceased until [[Papua New Guinea]] started circulating its own currency ([[Papua New Guinean kina]]) in April 1975.
