| Beschrijving voorzijde | The obverse bears the Arms of the Commonwealth of Australia as authorised by Royal Warrant of 19 September 1912, featuring a shield divided into six quarterly sections, each containing the heraldic badge of one of the Australian states; notably, South Australia's section depicts three sheaves of wheat above a rising sun rather than the officially authorised Piping Shrike. The shield is supported by a kangaroo to the right and an emu to the left, both standing upon a grassy mound adorned with small sprigs of wattle. Surmounting the shield is a royal crown in place of the customary Federation Star. The surrounding legend reads FLORIN K·G 1937 AUSTRALIA within the field. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Edward VIII abdicated in December 1936, before any of the prepared Australian coinage bearing his effigy could enter circulation. Dies had already been cut for the full denominations, and this florin reverse trial survives as evidence of how far preparations had advanced. The obverse was never paired for circulation — the abdication made it unnecessary.
Australia had been awaiting a new obverse portrait following George V's death in January 1936. The eleven-month interregnum created a production vacuum that the mints filled with trial and pattern work.
