1938 Australian Florin Uncirculated

Description

The 1938 Australian Florin is a landmark issue, notable as the first year to feature the redesigned Coat of Arms reverse that would remain in use until the end of pre-decimal coinage. In uncirculated condition, this coin retains full mint lustre, sharp detail, and no trace of wear – a superb example for serious collectors.

The obverse presents the portrait of King George VI, introduced in 1938 following the abdication of Edward VIII. The reverse features the new Australian Coat of Arms design: a shield supported by a kangaroo and emu, topped by the Crown and framed by native flora, symbolising Australia’s national identity and unity.
