1951 commemorative florin

Hi all. I have a 1951 commemorative Australian florin. The front I king George and the reverse has a sword crossing a scepter and a crown above that. Will load photos if I can but Internet is VERY slow here. Does anyone have any idea of the value?

Thanks

Mathew

And those are in US dollars

 

Thanks for your answer can it a nickel though? We don't have them in Australia?

 

There is a slim chance it could be copper-nickel, but odds are it's the silver version.

 

Hi Billyray. I'm feeling very silly at the moment - I wasn't totally awoke when I posted to your reply. You were talking about the makeup of the coin. I assumed we were talking about the coin: a 'nickel.' Thanks very much.

 

no biggie, our nickels are called nickels cause they're made of copper-nickel lol
