An Australian Florin was a Two Shilling coin of silver appearance which was first minted in London in 1910 and last minted in Melbourne in 1963. The coin was called a Florin, its value was Two Shillings. There were 24 pence in a Florin, and 10 Florins in One Pound. From 1910 to 1945, their composition was 92.5% silver and 7.5% copper. They had a milled edge, weighed 11.31 grams and were 28.5 mm in diameter. From 1946 to 1963, their composition was 50% silver, 40% copper, 5% zinc and 5% nickel. They had a milled edge, weighed 11.31 grams and were 28.5 mm in diameter. They were progressively withdrawn from circulation after the introduction of Decimal Currency on the 14th of February, 1966. In modern currency, a Florin was the equivalent of 20 cents. All Australian coins have the reigning Monarch on the obverse. From 1910 to 1936, the Florin had the Australian "Coat of Arms" on the reverse with the words ONE FLORIN - TWO SHILLINGS around the top and the year at the bottom. From 1937 to 1963, the Florin had a more ornate Australian "Coat of Arms" on the reverse with the words FLORIN around the top and AUSTRALIA and YEAR at the bottom. There were no Florins issued in 1920, 1929, 1930, 1937, 1948, 1949, 1950 and 1955. The very rarest Australian Florin is the 1937 pattern which was not released into general circulation, the rare Florins are 1914H, 1915, and 1932, and the 1911, 1912, 1915H, 1933 and 1939 coins are considered to be scarce. From a coin collectors perspective, Australian Florins, depending on year, condition and method of minting, can be worth anything from $1 to $350,000 AUD. The Australian Florin is the most collected of all Australian coins due to it's relatively large size and ease of seeing minute detail. Please note that since the Florin is part of a redundant or obsolete currency, it no longer has an "exchange rate" with other currencies.
