so hello fellow coin collectors how you going today my name is Glenn and today
we're gonna be talking about the Nanyan 53 Florin and as you can see I only have
the one example it's in a probably very fine condition and this is actually the
first issue that actually had it Elizabeth the second so she actually
appeared on Australian coins in 1953 happened to 1964 forty half penny one
penny in footprints and 1963 46 pence one shilling and floran so the foreign
is actually worth two shillings so that makes it one tenth of a pound because 20
shillings equals one pound so ten florins equals one pound and it's
subdivided into 24 pennies or also subdivided into four sixpence and eight
for pants and 48 half pennies so if if you take like one shilling and cuz
twelve pence you just double it okay okay one shilling also equals 24 half
pennies so if you're not too familiar with a half pennies it's actually a
small coin so okay what is the actual mintage of this coin there were thirteen
million four hundred and sixty-six thousand coins minted you might think
that that is low but compared to ever coins that's actually quite high for a
floor and you do get some years actually higher but most years are actually lower
in their actual mintage and if you take like the 1952 had only 10 million 1956
had eight million a 1959 had four and a half million then yani
ish you'd actually had higher two issues
afterwards uh 1954 1960 you can find them integers on new mr. or Enya
Australian coin book if you have one another thing also is that this is 50
percent silver forty percent copper five percent zinc and five percent nickel and
if you put copper and zinc together they call brass so there's a silver brass
nickel coin eleven point three one grams and twenty-eight point five millimeters
now all these ones of Elizabeth the second one meeting today at Melbourne
and if we look at the obverse you can see there is no FD on these coins so
1953-54 had 9f day they'll put on in 1956 as the were known Florence minted
in 1955 so the values for this coin are well the actual silver values roughly
about four dollars so basically if you get a coin in very good condition which
this one is not are you basically paying about four dollar silver you if you paid
less dinner and you ripping someone else off if you want to get it in this
condition very fine you're probably talking about and this is in between
very fine extremely fine so between six and twelve dollars as it would be paying
for one at Easter they're not too expensive less than an hour's wage
unless you actually don't work and then it actually might be a little bit harder
for you'd actually purchase it and at this time a lot of people are actually
facing that if you want to get money none soca date has a very about 125
dollars but you can probably pick one up for sixty to seventy at the moment
because the book values are pretty much pre 2000 a night values and they do not
currently reflect the current market okay so there are four known errors for
this coin and you can actually get an error coin book which I favor might
review all all it should make a review Florent errors actually there's not as
many varieties as there are with the one penny coin so one penny coin you can get
up to when I 48 50 different types of errors and varieties just in one year
but with a Florin you'll be lucky to get 10 varieties in a year and I need a 1946
and 47 have a / 10 varieties suppose back 15 to 20 each and in the 1953 on
the reverse so the reverse has the coat-of-arms
sorry up the emu the kangaroo the air boarding crown wattle in the background
this is a lump probably Oliver I'm just going to say it's all over anyway
probably not then we have the coat of arms of the states ooh
Victoria's in the center New South Wales
I think that's Queensland selfish western strays in the middle of this one
self astray is this one and Tasmania has the actual lion hope I got that right if
I'm wrong leave a comment down below saying what an idiot I am so this one
there's only two varieties there's one of the small bead in large beats so this
one has a small bead the actual large bead should actually be twice as long as
these and if you get a few coins you'll probably find at least one like if you
get ten you probably find at least one which the long beads so it's scarce but
it's not actually uncommon and there's only free types of errors on this side
let me just push that in okay so what you need to look for is a dot after
gratia so here's the actual diamond it separates the actual
that rule titles that the actual Queen has so gross tiara should be another dot
somewhere that's missing so this one actually has the dot so you looking for
no dot there if you have a like a small or doctor net it's just a a cud yep
and then with Regina we have a dike at bottom of our eg obviously this one
doesn't top of GI n so obviously the die crack probably just goes down the bottom
goes at the top it goes free G bottom of Regina okay
what I'm bait in Regina should I say so yeah and the bottom of gob in Elizabeth
so obviously that all occurs on the same coin and I would say is it would
actually occur in varying lengths and thicknesses because you would have
started as a small crack and then it just would have opened up and also
whenever coins you can actually get on Elizabeth the top of you'd last part so
around here up until you to you can get another diet crack so their DNA
varieties that are actually been found so far not for are these errors die
cracks and there's probably actually more different varieties that there but
a lot of these coins would have been melted down and not actually saved so
the ability to actually research all of them or even even like a fair housing or
two thousand coins would actually be hard
first of all you need to take time to actually collect them and a lot of
people are not willing to do that so that is d 1953 Florin I hope you enjoyed
this review and what you can actually find any actual coin and just keep
collecting I'll leave a link down below to ebay coin shops if you want to have a
look at what it's actually for sale pre-decimal and
also I do have a link down below to my own he baked wine shop is my deed coins
and banknotes which I do actually offer coins and banknotes and thank you very
much for watching have a awesome coin collecting time
