G'day & welcome,
the first Australian penny was thought to have been issued in 1911.

Are you sure yours is Australian ?

Peter

Yep, there were no "Australian pennies" at all in 1892, and none of the other colonies were making them, either; it'll be British.

1892 British pennies are quite common, especially in low grades - and most of the British pennies of the Victorian period found here in Australia are indeed quite heavily worn; supplying nice new shiny coins to the colonies was never high on the priority list of Imperial economic planners; coins tended to stay in circulation until they were worn flat.
Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis
