The only commemorative florin issued during the reign of King George VI, the 1951 Federation Florin was issued to mark 50 years of Australian nationhood, achieved when the six British colonies united in 1901.
Beginning in 1910 and ending at decimalisation in 1966, Australia’s first currency system is notable for the tiny number of commemorative coins. Indeed, the 1951 Federation Florin was one of only four commemorative florins! Carrying a design highlighting the importance of parliamentary democracy in Australia, with a crown upon a crossed mace and sword, intersecting within a Southern Cross, the 1951 Federation Florin is a crucial element of the predecimal series.
Struck at the Melbourne Mint, with the mintage closed at a mere two million, the unique, one-year-only 1951 Federation Florin was hoarded out of circulation. Just as sought after now as at the time of issue, this key type is a must-have for every Australian collector – especially when found in the stunning state of preservation seen here!
