| Reverse description | The central device displays the Commonwealth Coat of Arms supported by a kangaroo to the dexter and an emu to the sinister, the heraldic supporters emblematic of Australia. The denomination ONE SHILLING arcs above the shield, while the patriotic motto ADVANCE AUSTRALIA appears in the lower arc. The Melbourne Mint mark M is positioned below the shield, and the date 1919 is presented flanked by dashes within the lower field. The composition of this piece at .625 fine silver identifies it as a debased pattern trial for a proposed post-war coinage standard. |
