1922 florin
au-florin-1922
A coin of this date, photographed
Museums Victoria holds 2 of these and photographs each one, which is a documented proof that a coin bearing this date exists. It says nothing about how many were struck, and is not counted as a mintage anywhere here.
What they hold: specimen. None of these is a circulating strike, so this date is attested only by pieces that were never issued for use.

What this page does not tell you
It does not tell you what the coin is worth. A catalogue can honestly report how many were struck, what metal is in one, and what the documents say. It cannot report a market price without either inventing it or copying someone who might have. So this catalogue reports the first three and stays quiet about the fourth.
