Hi Josie from what I can tell from my limited resources on these coins the coins struck in 1953 have no shoulder and from 1954 on they do show a shoulder line.

I cant tell from the pic if this coin was struck with no shoulder or if has suffered some damage or perhaps the die was partially filled.

can you get us better pics ?

Without a clearer pic, I'd guess it's just wear...

British and Australian predecimal coins have slightly different obverse legends, as you noticed: British obverses lack the "F:D:". That's because on British coins, that part of the legend appears on the reverse, as "FID: DEF:".

thank you again there is a news in coinlink about canadian 5 cents no shoulder consider to be mule,the coins been issue in transition of 1953,1954, and 1955 in all denominations in all uk and commonwealth country is not as clear wheather there is a variety in other forms in other country or not for most of the coin I saw in ebay and 2 I have are worn and dont know if it is a no shoulder or not hope someone will post a 1955 2 shillings uncirculated or a uncirculated if the no shoulder exist for this there is really no guide to see other denominations if they are no shoulder or not for aussies coin maybe known if diff die it use because of the FD but on uk it is very difficult if that kind of variety exist still searching on the web thank you
