1927 M Coat Of Arms One Florin 2S Graded MS63
The Australian florin was first released in 1910 as part of the implementation of the Coinage Act 1909, affectionately referred to as a 'Two Bob' and minted from 1910 until 1963 with commemorative florins issued in: 1927, 1934–35, 1951, and 1954. No florins were minted in 1920, 1929–30, 1937, 1948–50 and 1955.
The image on the reverse of the coin was the coat of arms of Australia (except for commemorative coins). This comes in two forms, all with the kangaroo, emu and the shield containing the coat of arms. Those issued between 1910 and 1936 have a seven-pointed star above the coat of arms, and the Southern Cross constellation within the shield. Those issued between 1938 and 1963, inclusive, have the royal crown above, the six states represented in the shield and a golden wattle plant as a background. When Australia decimalised officially, on 14 February 1966, the florin was equal to 20 cents.
