Australian Penny, 1911 to 1936

The Australian penny was first minted in England from 1911 to 1915, then in India from 1916 to 1918. Australia started minting most of it's own pennies from 1919 onwards.

Australian pennies between 1911 and 1936 featured King George V on the obverse (heads) and 'COMMONWEALTH OF AUSTRALIA' on the reverse (tails).

Key dates in the KGV era include the 'rare' 1930, 'scarce' 1925, as well as lower mintage coins such as 1914, 1915, 1915h, 1918, 1926 and 1931.    There are also several scarce variety coins from the KGV era.
