? The George V shilling series, lasting throughout George V's reign from 1911 to 1936, features the Australian coat of arms with ADVANCE AUSTRALIA across the scroll, SHILLING up the top, and the year of issue down the bottom.

? The 1912 Shilling was the second year in the George V series and was struck at the Royal Mint in London to a mintage of 1,000,000. This relatively low mintage makes the piece quite a challenge to obtain in any grade.

In 1912 this time the price of silver was relatively low meaning which meant that the production ...

? The 1933 Shilling was struck at the Melbourne Mint to a mintage of 200,000 - the lowest mintage of the series. This very low mintage has made the type very scarce with only 47 pieces in total graded by PCGS of which less than fifteen are graded at a mint-state. In mint-state the type is worth a small fortune with only the 1915-H Shilling reaching higher prices in this series. The low mintage in 1933 may have been related to the economic climate of the time. The Great ...
? The 1966 One Cent was minted at Melbourne, Perth and Canberra. To distinguish the mint of manufacture just look closely at the left-most whiskers of the possum. If the left most whisker is blunted then the coin was minted in Melbourne. If the second from the left most whisker is blunted then the coin was minted in Perth. If neither is blunted then the coin was minted in Canberra. No blunted whiskers indicates minted in Canberra. Left most whisker is ...
