Afternoon everyone....
To keep up with my started tradition, today is #worldcoinwednesday.
But today I will not only give you a coin from somewhere other than the UK. I’m going to give you three coins from another country.
And today’s country is Australia.....
The three coins I am going to share with you are the same style coin but of three different years. The coin is an Australian Florin. They were produced from 1910-1945 were minted from .925 silver, better known as sterling silver. From 1946-1966 they were minted from .50 silver.
The Florin is 28.6mm, which is slightly larger then a US quarter. The weight is 11.31 grams. The obverse of the coins I will show has King George VI, and the reverse has the Australia coat of arms.
I will be showing you a fine example of 1942, 1943, and 1944 today.
