The backs for “Ausgolds” mostly have 2 colours, usually red and blue. 311 and 811 share the same design, with an additional ‘anonymous’ back in the 811.
Above: range of “Ausgold” back designs. The ‘base’ Ausgolds were 111 or 211 and sold in newsagents and such places. Higher grade cards were mostly for casinos.

“Ausgold” Specification Sheet
Above: “Ausgold” Specification Sheet.
Above: “Ausgold” boxes. Note in the Ausgolds there is no '4' series; maybe because number 4 is unlucky in some Asian cultures.
Above: “Ausgold” jokers. Some are just minor colour changes to the blue colouring, or the corner stars colours.
