Thank you for sharing!
I’m into Numismatics :smiley: the history is so fascinating!

I’ve not seen any Aussie coins before.
It’s an extremely rare coin since it’s so fine. I wonder what the mintage numbers were since that so influences a coin’s value.

*Update:
The penny was a product of the Great Depression where in 1929, there was such deflation due to Australia’s economy shrinking significantly, it caused a lower demand for currency.

This resulted in no pennies being ordered to be minted by the government at that time.

However, due to the ‘accidental’ minting of the 1930 penny, there ended up being 3000 produced, but only around 1500 ended up in circulation, with many of these coins being damaged and discarded over the years.*
