1935 was a fascinating year in Australia too. Its rarest florin came out (Non circulation one), but this coin was not the standard florin.

It was this Victoria/Melbourne centenary coin - although dated 1934/35, it was released in Feb/Mar 1935 making it a 1935 coin in my book.


The design featured a rider on horseback with streamers flying. The coin had 75k minted and was sold at 3/- each (a 50%) mark up and even distributed through department stores. Being the late depression, it was a colossal flop and of the 75k minted, 21k were melted back down, leaving just 54,000. The coins today are scarce and my one in gEF condition is about average as most of them were souvenired. Figure $500+ for this coin.

The coin was also the only Australian one to have the Kruger Grey portrait of KGV, this appeared on the NZ, Fiji, Mauritius, Seychelles coins and Canadian $1 coins of 1935 and 1936.


A nice shilling (VF) and average 3d and Penny.


A worn 1935 Standard Florin, that I got for helping my stamp club assess some coin lots for their auction (I ended up buying most of them).

I don't have the 6d or halfpenny.

1935 s Cal Pacific commemorative half

1935 Old Spanish trail commemorative half

Nice coins everyone.
Princetane, I'm liking that NZ 3d.

I don't remember why I took this pic again... at least it's a medium-scarce coin.



This is the so-called "old" 1935 kopek; partway through the year, this type was replaced by a new version, lacking the obverse motto, which itself only lasted until 1936 before the coat of arms had to be redesigned (because the number of the USSR's constituent republics changed).

Both versions of the 1935 1 kopek are uncommon, and the new type is not very common overall; mintages were apparently generally fairly low in 1935 and 1936.
Some of the other denominations of those years are even scarcer, with the 5 kopek of 1935-36 being the scarcest type in the entire Soviet base-metal circulation type set (1 ruble 1921-22 overtakes it if silver is included; of course the 1923 gold 10 rubles is far rarer than either, but it's debatable whether it counts as a circulation type).



You can kind of see this kopek as the second (from left) coin in the bottom row of my kopek type set photo, while the third coin is an 1936 kopek representing the new type.
Unfortunately AFAIK only two or three other coins from the set have individual photos; that said, I'm working on my unuploaded smartphone photo archive, and it's possible there will be more.

Unless I find a photo of an intermediate-date coin in my archives, my next entry is 1923. I'm hoping not to miss that day - I think I have about five or six coins to post for it!
