About this Coin

The 1927 Parliament House Florin holds a cornerstone position in Australian numismatic history as the nation's inaugural commemorative issue. While problem-free Uncirculated examples command premium prices, this specimen offers exceptionally high technical detail—retaining the full relief and design crispness of an Almost Uncirculated to Uncirculated coin. Due to localised dipping or cleaning, third-party grading services (such as PCGS or NGC) would categorise this as "aUNC Details (Cleaned)" rather than assigning a numeric grade.
