A rare and super top quality pre-decimal error graded by PCGS. This florin was struck in San Francisco (USA) on a planchet intended for 5 gram 35% silver USA Wartime Nickel. The San Francisco Mint was striking coins for Australia in 1943 and struck both shillings and florins (along with sixpences and threepences). The under-sized blank did not fill the collar die fully and much of the design is missing. It shows metal flow particularly noticeable particularly in the obverse legends.
