1963 Australia florin, clipped planchette

This 1963 Australian florin features a large clipped planchette error that dramatically alters the coin’s outline and catches the eye; it’s an interesting example of mid-20th century Australian coinage. The coin is from Australia and displays minimal circulation wear consistent with its grade.

Obverse: Portrait of Queen Elizabeth II with clear facial and hair detail, retaining good relief despite light wear. Reverse: The Australian coat of arms with shield flanked by the kangaroo and emu, with the legend and denomination still legible around the design.
