The 1923 3/2 penny is not an Overdate. It is a rare mule with the Obverse of a
penny die and the reverse of a halfpenny die. It can be worth up to AUD $100,000.

It is probably safe to say that something worth up to AUD $100,000 is not going to be easily found.

Right jbuck, it would be like looking for a 1982D copper small date,
there were very few of them struck.

I cant find an image either but all you have to do is look at the reverse of a penny coin.
if it says one penny, then it is normal if it says half penny, then it is the mule

If it is this difficult to find an image, it must be exponentially more difficult to find one.

For a more acceptable challenge, you are better off searching for an actual 1923 half penny—I am seeing there were only around 15,000 minted.
