The Australian Numismatic Society
Howard Mills.

From
Colin Thomas
Howard was an avid collector of coinage from different
areas and ages. His pet was Perth Mint penny varieties which he studied
assiduously.
He wrote on the subject many times and constructed displays to
illustrate his
investigations. He was also passionate about Chinese coinage. One time
secretary of the Queensland Branch, Howard was meticulous in his
reporting of
facts and events and keeping the minutes of meetings. He and his dear
wife
Phyllis were always gracious in inviting visitors to their lovely home
at
Bardon at one side of Mount Coot-Tha. For his dedicated services to the
society
he was awarded the silver medal (A.F.A.N.S.).
