Bluesfil Posted August 16, 2007 Report Share Posted August 16, 2007 Australia had a 5 shilling coin or Crown for 2 years only - it was unpopular because it was so large and so heavy George VI appeared on the Obverse of the both years The coin depicted is a 1938 Crown which is the scarcer of the 2 It is difficult to get these coins without any teeth marks in the fields - the sheer weight of the coin dropping into the hoppers invariably marked the coins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluesfil Posted August 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2007 1937 The coin depicted is a 1937 Crown Again, difficult to get these coins without any teeth marks in the fields - the sheer weight of the coin dropping into the hoppers invariably marked the coins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gnome Posted April 4, 2008 Report Share Posted April 4, 2008 There is also a variety in the 1937. It's called the I dot variety. It's a diechip between the I in Australia and the crown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
