He was mostly known for his business interests. Coster emigrated to Sydney at the age of 16. He quickly rose to leading positions and the management of the Union Bank of Australia sent him to Christchurch in March 1859. There, he transferred to the Bank of New Zealand and became manager of the branch in Christchurch. On Coster's initiative, the New Zealand Shipping Company was founded in 1873, and he was its managing executive for many years.[1] He represented the Heathcote electorate from 1884 to 1886, when he died.[2] He was sick during the last two years of his life. Since he returned from a business trip to London in March 1886, he was unable to work, and he died on 17 December 1886 at his residence in Opawa.[1] He is buried at the Heathcote Cemetery.[3] References1. ^1 {{cite news |title=Obituary |url= http://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/cgi-bin/paperspast?a=d&cl=search&d=TS18861218.2.33 |accessdate=20 August 2014 |work=The Star |issue=5804 |date=18 December 1886 |page=3}} {{s-start}}{{s-par | nz}}{{s-bef | before = Henry Wynn-Williams}}{{s-ttl | title=Member of Parliament for Heathcote | years = 1884–1886}}{{s-aft | after = Frederic Jones}}{{end}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Coster, John}}{{NewZealand-politician-stub}}2. ^{{cite book |last= Wilson |first= James Oakley |title= New Zealand Parliamentary Record, 1840–1984 |edition= 4th |origyear= First ed. published 1913 |year= 1985 |publisher= V.R.
