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.

Backs from “Ausgold” by SNP Ausprint Pty Ltd

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.

Boxes from “Ausgold” by SNP Ausprint Pty Ltd

Above: “Ausgold” boxes. Note in the Ausgolds there is no '4' series; maybe because number 4 is unlucky in some Asian cultures.

Jokers from “Ausgold” by SNP Ausprint Pty Ltd

Above: “Ausgold” jokers. Some are just minor colour changes to the blue colouring, or the corner stars colours.
