1940 Australian penny?

Pubbrad · July 13, 2017, 04:02:32 PM

[attachment=3676][attachment=3675]I was wondering if someone could please tell me which 1940 penny I have!
It's confusing because I'm finding it hard to find a kg at all.

The coin appears to be in good condition I think? So I should be able to see a mint mark yeah?
Any help would be awesome

KG is the designers initials on the reverse side above the roos tail. There is a mintmark which is a dot between the K.G. Bit hard to tell from your pics, unfortunately. Bit more info on it, as well. http://triton.vg/pennies.html

No problem, hope it helped.

Can you see if it's a Melbourne or Perth one.

Unfortunately I can't!! the coin I thought was in good condition, but still I'm finding it hard to find a KG about the tail

May need to invest in another 1940 coin as well to see, just a thought.

Can you take a larger picture perhaps, and show it.
