Catalog description

This Australian .500 silver florin bears Elizabeth II’s first portrait and was issued from 1956 to 1963. A florin was equal to two shillings and was an important denomination in the pre-decimal pound system. The .500 fineness reflects the post-war move away from earlier .925 silver issues. Circulation, proof and special mint-set issues are recorded.
