The Story
Guaranteed Genuine! Including certificate of authenticity and photos.
Although not the rarest Australian coin the 1930 Penny is the most sought after for completing pre-decimal sets with only around 1500 examples known to exist. No Pennies were ordered by the Federal Treasury during the height of the depression in 1930, but the following year a small order was placed and some released by the Melbourne Mint.
