[QUOTE="Aidan Work, post: 203330, member: 1824"]Clinker,that is a very nice collection you have got there.The Australian King George V 2/- coins are dual-denominated. The Canadian 1935 silver $1 was Canada's first circulating commemorative coin.It was issued to commemorate King George V's Silver Jubilee,as was the British 1935 Crown (5/-).The reverse design of the British 1935 Crown is not an attractive design,but it has led them to being nicknamed as the 'Rocking Horse Crown'. The 2 New Zealand coins you have got there are of interest,as the 1935 Threepence (written as '3d.') is a scarce coin (40,000 pieces) & the 1935 Crown has a mintage of 764 pieces for circulation & 364 pieces struck in Proof. Irish coins have always been popular with British Commonwealth numismatists,as are British Pacific Islands coins,such as those from Fiji & New Guinea. Aidan.[/QUOTE]
