<p>[QUOTE=&quot;secretsquirrel, post: 42275, member: 1991&quot;]In 1981 both London and the Canada Mints were used to strike some of the Aussie coins.</p><p>On the 5c we have 2 different effigy designs for that year and i&#039;m trying to track down images of other commonwealth effigies for that year to compare them and find out which of these 2 mints made those coins.</p><p>It&#039;s either been done as a deliberate privvy by the Royal Australian Mint (which for some reason no longer have these records) and they made and sent the dies out, or the striking mint made the dies themselves and may have used the wrong effigy. All other 1981 coins struck at these mints for Australia have the standard/correct effigy. The 20c struck at the Canadian Mint have what we believe to be a privvy mark on the reverse with half a claw for the platypus missing.</p><p>I would appreciate any help from forum members to get obverse scans of any commonwealth coins for 1981 especially those that are approx 19.41mm (0.76 inches)</p><p>This is one coin i&#039;ve been working on for a number of years and would like to solve the mystery&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
