Interesting.
I travelled across Australia overland to Perth, then a few days later, travelled North and visited him.
I actually saw the Trout example.

He is only one of three people in the CCF I have spoken to, face to face. The other two I have spoke with, were visiting Americans at Sydney coin shows.

The coin I showed previously was a Trout coin too.
Almost all my Australian coins came from Trout.

Beautiful coin. Purchased one because of this thread and I'm going to end up going down the Australian florin rabbit hole now..
Not as pretty as some of the ones already posted but still fascinating to look at.

Indeed it is. Picked up another one today for a not much over scrap price. Didn't think they'd be quite so easy to get here.

Nice coin Gainn, I have found the 1927's surprisingly cheap for high grade examples too. Unlike the standard 1927 Florin which would be much more expensive in a high grade (VF+) and 1927 is considered a common date.

The only Aussie commem Florin hard to get is definitely a 1934/35 Melbourne Florin as only 53.4k were minted. The Canberra was 2 million coins and most were souvenired and put aside.

Proofs of course like in this thread are much more rare.

Yes, I've noticed the standard ones harder to find in good shape. One local(ish) shop has a selection that has several years including the '27 that they've graded VF to EF, so I'm going to take look this weekend.
