No document names how many coins were struck bearing the date 1963. These are report-year figures, on 3 different bases (struck-dated and struck-in-report-year and issued), and a coin dated 1963 was drawn from deliveries like these. Treating one of them as the mintage of a 1963 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.

sourceWhereas the 2+A penny features a reverse with flatbase letters, Dean notes curved-base letters on the reverse of the P31D variety.11 It appears that from the 1960s onwards, collectors searching for examples of the P31D variety were able to locate only a very small number of 1931 pennies containing a dropped 1 and an Indian obverse. These were mainly examples of the 2+A pennies. Ostensibly, finding these coins was so difficult (with only about fifty identified to date),12 that refining the search further in light of Dean’s curved-base letter notation may have been conveniently avoided. |

sourceIndian die obverse. London reverse. Dropped 1 in date. Extremely rare 2+A* Curved-base letters reverse Table 3. 1931 penny varieties including P31D. The Unicorn Penny Since the P31D variety has been so rarely seen, and its origins are somewhat mysterious, collectors have dubbed it “The Unicorn Penny” (Figure 5). While the Unicorn Penny displays similar characteristic to its extremely rare cousin – the benchmark 1931 D1.Ind. Obv. penny, other features point to it being a unique variety with a likely connection to the glamorous 1930 penny. Accordingly, with only eight confirmed Unicorn Pennies recorded by the author to date, they may hold a place among some of Australia’s rarest coins. |

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".
84 records. 71 of them are recorded in pounds sterling rather than in coins, because that is how the mints kept the books. 8 name the date borne by the coin. On 7 occasions 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.
