A KALGOORLIE BROTHEL TOKEN CIRCA 1900, NO LONGER REDEEMABLE!
Andrew Crellin
One Western Australian numismatic item that has a unique place in Australia is the brothel token issued by the Kalgoorlie madam who traded under thenom de plumes ‘Russian Princess’ or ‘Russian Martha’.
I don't know of any other brothel tokens that have been issued anywhere in Australia!
