About this Coin

Struck to commemorate the historic 1954 tour—the first time a reigning monarch set foot on Australian soil—this Florin is a cornerstone of Australian numismatics. Containing 50% silver, it was the final commemorative coin issued before the transition to decimal currency in 1966. While approximately 2 million were minted, finding examples that have retained their original, brilliant mint sheen is becoming increasingly difficult. This coin is a superb choice for collectors seeking high-grade examples of Australia’s classic silver coinage.
