Title: Pre decimal proof identification
Post by: trout on February 15, 2013, 07:07:32 AM
A good Mate of mine sent me an artical from  the Australian coin and banknote magazine , volume 10,#1 February 2007.
I would imagine that most of the information would be aplicable to other pre decimal silver coins as well.

The era of pre-55 proofs and specimens was an era of experimentation for the local mints so almost every coin has unique characteristics. That article is applicable only to the Parliament house florin.
