Peter THOMAS Pillar of the Community Australia 2830 Posts	Posted 03/28/2012 9:21 pm "1927 parliment house" was a circulation issue. 1934 "horse with rider" florin wasn't intended for circulation. It is usually called the "Centenary florin", and it bears date "1934-35". It celebrates two events: the settlement of what we now call Victoria, at Portland, in 1834; and the foundation of (the City of) Melbourne in 1835. In 1927, 1934, and again in 1935, there were florins issued for circulation, with the same features as all the others 1911 to 1936. Report this Post to the Staff

Peter S Thomas Valued Member Australia 216 Posts	Posted 04/20/2012 01:18 am Ummm. Do we want to confuse the issue of half penny's with the 1916 mule? It was supposedly in circulation, although I've only seen 3 instances and heard of about a dozen. Cheers The Other Peter Report this Post to the Staff
Peter S Thomas Valued Member Australia 216 Posts	Posted 04/20/2012 6:08 pm Ok so we want the first coin of each type. So - COPPERS Half penny 1911 George V 1938 George VI Old reverse (Commonwealth of Australia) 1939 George VI Kangaroo reverse 1953 Elizabeth II Kangaroo reverse (the 1916-I mule does have the Indian Quarter Anna Obverse so I could be called a different type, It's up to you) Penny 1911 George V 1938 George VI 1953 Elizabeth II SILVER Threepence 1910 Edward VII 1911 George V 1938 George VI 1953 Elizabeth II Sixpence 1910 Edward VII 1911 George V 1938 George VI 1953 Elizabeth II Shilling 1910 Edward VII 1911 George V 1938 George VI 1953 Elizabeth II Florins 1910 Edward VII 1911 George V 1938 George VI 1953 Elizabeth II Commemorative Florins 1927 Parliament House 1934-35 Melbourne Centenary (plus Foy & Gibson bag if you can) 1901-1951 50 Years of Federation 1954 QEII Royal Visit Crowns (5 Shillings) 1937 George VI GOLD Given the cost and sheer number of different varieties I don't think it is worth just trying a type set. Better to go the full set. Just my opinion on this one. Cheers Peter Report this Post to the Staff
yves Valued Member Canada 274 Posts	Posted 04/22/2012 01:35 am Hi ! Thank you for this information, I see some difference between some list but I will read again to be sure... Does it mean that the 1/2 and 1 Sovereign are gold ? THanks ! Report this Post to the Staff
sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 04/22/2012 02:27 am Canada ALSO produced gold sovereigns, of the same type as the Australian ones. Report this Post to the Staff
Peter S Thomas Valued Member Australia 216 Posts	Posted 04/22/2012 6:23 pm Hi Yves, Yep the Australian 1/2 and 1 Sovereign's are gold. So starting price currently is about $350 + (last time I checked). The thing with the Sovereign's, both 1/2 and 1, was that there are SO MANY different varieties. That is why I'm thinking that I will not be collecting them. Cheers Peter S Report this Post to the Staff
