AUSTRALIA. Florin, 1934/5. Melbourne Mint. PCGS PROOF-64 Gold Shield. KM-33. A dual-date commemorative, this issue honored the centennials of the founding of Victoria (in 1834) and Melbourne (in 1835). Despite a bagmark in the beard of George defining the grade, this piece remains above-average when compared to the fleetingly rare offerings of this type in Proof. A Herculean acquisition for the advanced collector of Australian issues and certain to anchor the 20th Century issues of such a remarkable cabinet.
