A Glimpse into Australian Decimal Paper Banknotes's World Through Images

Between 1911 and 1945, Australia’s coins were struck in sterling silver — 92.5 % pure.

These weren’t bullion rounds; they were the nation’s real circulating currency. Each coin — especially the Florin — carried intrinsic value and elegant design. Today, they’ve become the bridge between bullion stacking and true heritage collecting.

“Every note once promised silver. These coins delivered it.”
 

• Scarcity & Purity: Genuine sterling silver (92.5 % Ag) — no replicas, no remints.
   
• Historic Value: Every Florin tells the story of Australia’s early economy in real metal.
   
• Dual Appeal: Sought after by both silver stackers and banknote collectors.
   
• Rising Demand: Renewed social-media hype around “heritage silver” has reignited interest.
   

While others chase generic bullion, smart collectors are moving into verified Australian sterling silver — limited, local, and historically rich.

The Florin stands at the top of Australia’s sterling-era series:

• Large 28.5 mm diameter, 11.31 g weight
   
• Contains 0.336 troy oz of pure silver
   
• Issued 1911–1945 under George V and George VI
   
• Surviving UNC examples are rare and increasingly recognised as premium collector assets
   

We don’t melt history — we preserve it.

Each UNC Sterling Silver Florin offered is Verified & Authenticated, ensuring genuine composition and provenance.

Collectors who join this movement aren’t chasing hype — they’re acquiring tangible heritage.

“From banknote to bullion — the collector’s next frontier.”
