- Only a few percent of 1953 Florins were struck with the 'large reverse' edge denticles typical of the 'Coat of Arms' reverse that was introduced on the 1938 Florin. The vast majority of 1953 florins and the standard 1954 florins were struck on a modified reverse die with noticeably smaller edge denticles. The later proved to be just a two-year type, as when the next florins were issued in 1956, the reverse reverted again to the large denticle type which continued to the last florins struck in 1963. It should be noted that PCGS have classified coins that have slightly larger (mid-sized) denticles as the 'large denticle' variety (refer the three coins pictured in the PCGS Population Report). Some of these coins appear to be just the consequence on a sharper centred strike with more defined edge detail. The unambiguous 'large denticle' type has the added identifiers of a double line running between the tail and the leg of the kangaroo and doubling of the letters 'AUST' of 'AUSTRALIA'. This '1953 Large Denticle Florin' appears to be the product of just one reverse die which would account for its rarity in mint state.
