This 1927 Florin was issued by Australia to show off their new Parliament Building in Canberra. It was their first commemorative coin but, then again, they had only been issuing coins since 1910. You have the crowned bust of King George V on one side and the new Parliament Building on the other side. They issued quite a lot of these coins and they are almost common in Fine and Very Fine condition, but in the higher grades they are quite tough to find. If you want a choice example, it would be hard to find better than these…

Well yes, this is one of the last silver threepences, but they are not from this country. They were issued under Queen Elizabeth II in Australia and they have her portrait on the coins.

All coins are in selected circulated condition, we will give you the best quality coin in stock when your order is made.

The Florin, or two shillings, was fi rst issued in Australia in 1910 under King Edward VII and last issued under Queen Elizabeth II in the 1960’s. All Australian Florins are struck in silver, something we changed in this country in 1947. We have a nice group that have just come in of Queen Elizabeth silver Florins in About Uncirculated to Uncirculated condition. Most dealers would call these coins Uncirculated, but at Coincraft we are a bit more conservative. Dates will be of our choice but we have at least three different dates in stock. Beautiful coins, at least 50 years old struck in silver and this denomination no longer exists in Australian coinage, get them while you can.

Since Australia went over to the Decimal system 40 years ago, their pre-decimal series is now complete and finished. 91 years ago, in 1927, the first florin was issued. This commemorative was for the new Parliament Building. Struck in Sterling silver we are offering this florin in Very Fine condition.

After Australia went over to the decimal system, their pre-decimal was complete and finished. During the period 1910-1963 they issued only four commemorative coins and they were all florins. We can offer you the last of the four coins issued. This fourth and last of the Australian commemorative Florins was struck for the Royal visit of the new Queen, Queen Elizabeth II. As with the 1951 issue this coin was struck in .500 silver, offered here in VF.

We just found a small bag of King George V pennies, but they are all struck and issued in Australia. Don’t forget Australia only had its own copper coinage since 1911 and that carried the portrait of King George V. These are nice coins and will average Fine condition. They are the same size as the British penny of that time, just that a lot fewer of them were made and they are harder to get here. Dates of our choice and there are no rare dates in the parcel. But the more coins you order, the more different dates we will try and give you.

In 1910 Australia struck its first-ever Silver coins. The next coins issued carried the face of King George V. Australia carried on striking George V coins until 1936. One interesting note about the Sixpences of King George V is that they were struck in Sterling Silver. We stopped using Sterling Silver in our coins in 1919. Dates will be of our choice, but all the coins are in Very Good-Fine condition. You have George V on one side and the arms of Australia on the other side with a kangaroo and an emu. Nice coins not all that easy to find...

We recently had a nice little group of Sterling Silver Threepences from Australia issued under King George V. Remember that Australia only started to issue silver coins on a regular basis in 1911, George V’s Coronation year. These coins stopped being made in 1936 when he died. They are nice coins in Fine condition and there are many different dates in the parcel. The more you order the more different dates you will get, but I don’t believe there are any rare dates in the lot. Struck in Sterling Silver and dated 1911-1936 they are in Fine condition.

From almost the other side of the world, or Australia to be exact, we offer King George VI Silver Sixpences that were struck during World War II. They are dated between 1939-1945 and are in selected circulated condition. An Australian friend sold them to us. Not an easy coin to find, as many of them were melted down after the Second World War. We think this is the first time we have offered them. Second World War, silver and King George VI have a lot going for them and they are Sterling Silver.

We have only a small quantity of this 1937 George VI Crown, this is one of only two crowns of Australia. All are in Very Fine. If you need one, please get in as quickly as possible. When they are gone, they are gone; there will be no more…

Steve came across this box of Australian Threepences all struck in silver and all of King George VI. They are in selected circulated condition, Australia struck their coins in silver long after we had given up. We're guessing they just had more silver to dig out than we did. Nice coins of Australia of the late King George VI and we believe it is the first time that we have offered them.

George VI, KM.38a Brilliant Uncirculated

A friend from Australia was just over for a visit. He brought a small group of high grade silver Threepences of Queen Elizabeth II with him. Australia not only carried on making a threepence but they made them in silver. These coins will grade About Uncirculated – Uncirculated, all high grade. Dates will be of our choice, but we are selling them as a type coin not specifi c dates. It has been awhile since we last had these coins in such a high grade.

We recently purchased a nice little parcel of Australian Gold Sovereigns. They were all struck with Queen Victoria’s Young Head bust and are dated 1886. They were struck in Melbourne and are in about Uncirculated condition with some Prooflike lustre. These are nice coins, 1886 Young Head Sovereigns in Extremely Fine condition the last issue where the young was featured, before the Queen's Jubilee which introduced the 1887 Jubilee Head bust. these coins are Rarer as they were struck in Australia. Get them while you can at our price they are a very Special Value!

Considered by many to be one of the most beautiful coins ever struck. It was struck at the Austrian Mint from 1780 until now. The fact is they still strike them today with the 1780 date on them. They are large silver coins that contain about 3/4 of an ounce of pure silver and they are in Brilliant Uncirculated condition. We have not had these for years, but a lucky buy has put them back into stock.

This large silver $10.00 was issued by the Bahamas in 1978 for the 5th Anniversary of their Independence. But rather than put the Queen on the coin, they put Prince Charles. It is in Proof condition, but they have toned a bit over the past 41 years, as silver tends to do. It weighs 45.36 grams of 500 fine Silver, which works out to about 3/4 of an ounce of pure Silver. As far as we can remember, this is the first coin to portray Prince Charles, and as he is going to be our next King, it might be a good way to start a collection of his coins.

Struck in 1995 and issued by Barbados to mark the 50th Anniversary of the United Nations.

Baroda princely state is in what is today Gujarat, an Indian state on the west coast and which borders on Pakistan. We can offer you a half rupee coin minted under Anand Rao, who reigned as Shah Alam II between 1800 and 1819. Although there is no date on the coins themselves, they were struck between 1804 and 1806.
