1961 Australian Florin - 50% Silver Pre-Decimal Coin

Own a classic piece of Australia's pre-decimal coinage with this 1961 Australian Florin, struck in 50% silver and featuring the iconic Australian Coat of Arms design.

The Australian Florin circulated from 1910 until the introduction of decimal currency in 1966 and remains one of the most recognisable coins in Australian numismatic history. From 1946 onwards, the silver content of Florins was reduced from sterling silver to 50% silver, making the 1961 issue an affordable and popular choice for collectors seeking genuine silver Australian coinage.

Featuring the portrait of Queen Elizabeth II on the obverse and the traditional Australian Coat of Arms on the reverse, this coin represents an important era in Australia's monetary history and makes a fantastic addition to any pre-decimal collection.

With a mintage of approximately 9.45 million coins, the 1961 Florin remains a sought-after collector's piece and an excellent example of Australia's rich numismatic heritage.
