no-coin-dated-figure

No document names how many coins were struck bearing the date 1910. These are report-year figures, counted as issued, and a coin dated 1910 was drawn from deliveries like these. Treating one of them as the mintage of a 1910 coin is what most published figures do, and it is the conflation this catalogue exists to document: the reports themselves record dates carrying over from one report year into the next.

What it is made of

Not copied from a table. Each row is the standard the instrument named beside it actually prescribed, and the fine metal weight is derived from that standard rather than looked up. Where a column says "not stated", the instrument does not state it and we will not supply a number it does not carry.

Varieties and errors

A variety is a claim about a coin, and claims differ in how well they are evidenced. The grade beside each says what kind of source stands behind it. This catalogue prints no valuations, so nothing here tells you what a variety is worth.

VarietyHow you tell it apartEvidenceSource
1946 florin small-void 6 Small void in date digit 6 trade
a dealer, auction house or grading service
source
These coins may have small and large voids in the 6 of the date.
1946 florin large-void 6 Void in 6 and 9 relatively the same size trade

source
The voids on the 6 and 9 of this variety are relatively the same size

the most noticeable is a double line that runs from the juncture of the tail of the kangaroo to the leg on the large denticle variety.

source
The reverse of the 1953 Florin has large and small denticle varieties

What the mints reported

These are not mintages by date, and this catalogue will not print them as if they were. They are what the Sydney, Melbourne and Perth branches reported striking, delivering or issuing during a report year. A single year's delivery routinely carried two dates: the 1958 report says florins and sixpences to a stated value "were dated 1957; the remainder of the coin delivered being dated 1958".

35 records. 33 of them are recorded in pounds sterling rather than in coins, because that is how the mints kept the books. 6 name the date borne by the coin. On 1 occasion the report states the same output both ways, in money and in coins, and the two agree exactly once converted: that is the pound ledger showing itself.
