After acquiring 200 tons of gold reserves from Nicholas II, Arthur was still in high spirits.

Although these gold reserves technically still belonged to the Russian government, and would only become Australasia's if Russia failed to repay the loan within ten years, this did little to dampen Arthur's spirits.
