One of the most distinctive coins of Australia's pre-decimal era, this 1934–35 Centenary Florin was struck at the Melbourne Mint to commemorate two important milestones:
100 years since the establishment of Victoria in 1834.
and
100 years since the foundation of Melbourne in 1835.
But behind its striking horse-and-rider design is an even better story.
The coin was supposed to help finance Melbourne's centenary celebrations.
Instead, Australians largely refused to buy it.
Thousands were eventually melted.
And in an extraordinary attempt to save the issue, a Melbourne department store bought 30,000 coins and began handing them out as ordinary change to its customers.
