    I got another foreign coin. It was minted in 1934, and has King George V on the front, and on the back it says "one florin - two shillings" with a Kangaroo and Bird holding a shield. It is from Australia. Its grade is about vf - xf. Does it have much value, and is it silver or plated? Thanks

    This is the coins design, but this isn't the actual coin... my camera doesn't take a clear picture. Remember, vf - xf is what my one is in, and the year is 1934. Thanks!
