Wanted: This table cloth in any condition!

Two ladies brought an unworked version of this cloth in to show me at my exhibition at Bundoora. A friend who was with them said at the time she also had one, but hadn't looked at it for ages, and thought hers was also unworked. But when she unearthed it from a bag of cloths, she found it was completely finished. She brought it to my place and allowed me to take some photos. It was produced by Womens Weekly magazine at the time when decimal currency was introduced into Australia (1966). I have never seen this design before - on eBay or any other source online or otherwise, so I don't think there will be many around. I would almost cut off my arm to get one of these cloths for my collection! So if anyone reading this knows where I can find one, please let me know!

Edited September 2019.  I should have edited this post years ago!  I did eventually get a fully embroidered decimal currency cloth from a friend who saw it in an opshop and grabbed it for me.
