I think yours is a better coin than the ebay listing. You have a far more distinct curve in the waterline above the "2". It is a bit of a worry in the ebay listing why the detail above the "2" isn't shown in a close up  It won't be long before we see this being forged in China  At least you know for sure that yours was made in Aus  |

Ausjack there are a fair few forged florins I have seen recently (on the ebay international site, luckily they were advertised as such), not just the 1934-35 but quite a few from the 1920's and 30's, won't be long till we see the 20c 1966 and the $1 2000 mule. |

Yeah sad it's it and coins aren't the only things, just so much fake stuff everywhere. What more can I say..very sad  |

Ausjack I hear ya mate. When I first got intrested in Samuri Swords I bought a few "authentic" swords from a Chineese seller. They turned out to be just junk, Tested them out on cutting tests and they just bent  I still have them but they arn't the real deal. It's all a bit of a learning curve, I now have a collection of modern manufacture Swords that ARE the real deal  It's just a Bloke thing, wimmun like flowers Blokes like guns and Swords |
