1931 Proof Shilling



The 1931 proof shilling was produced as a proof of record strike by the Melbourne mint. The proof strike is always exceptionally well struck up as with other Melbourne mint proofs and features a mirror finish.

The Melbourne mint also produced a 1931 proof florin (Learn more about the 1931 Proof Florin) that year with similar characteristics.
