Basil Pillar of the Community Australia 1040 Posts	Posted 10/11/2023 06:47 am Interesting Coin,appears genuine but when checking under magnification there appears to be a horses head under the belly of the main horse on the reverse. Wierd,never seem anything like it,first instinct was a forger having a joke but the Coin seems genuine. Edited by Basil 10/11/2023 6:11 pm Report this Post to the Staff

OK,Obverse loaded,relying on the owners Pics. which aren't great. Yes,seems genuine,coaster may be correct but that horses head under magnification threw me. Report this Post to the Staff

ttkoo Pillar of the Community Australia 2533 Posts	Posted 10/18/2023 6:33 pm Hi Basil, I'm not sure if you have this link to die markers for the Centenary Florin, so here it anyway. You can never have too many links! https://www.drakesterling.com/pub/m...y_Florin.pdf A common marker for specimen & business strikes with Die A is the small vertical line hanging down from the horses front right "elbow", though in the linked article the photo needs to be turned 90 degrees to make sense. I can't detect it from these photos, but that doesn't mean it isn't there, could also be Die B, but I am certainly no expert. The Ox moves slowly, but the Earth is patient.
