This coin has a page of its own, because 1 documented variety.
Every year above opens to the documents behind its figure. 2 of 4 also have a page of their own, where there was more to say than a row can hold.
A variety is a claim about a coin, and claims differ in how well they are evidenced. The grade beside each says what kind of source stands behind it. This catalogue prints no valuations, so nothing here tells you what a variety is worth.
| Variety | How you tell it apart | Evidence | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1925/3 overdate shilling | Elements of a 3 under the 5; source says this occurs on the entire issue including proofs | trade
a dealer, auction house or grading service |

These are not mintages by date, and this catalogue will not print them as if they were. They are what the Sydney, Melbourne and Perth branches reported striking, delivering or issuing during a report year. A single year's delivery routinely carried two dates: the 1958 report says florins and sixpences to a stated value "were dated 1957; the remainder of the coin delivered being dated 1958".
34 records. 31 of them are recorded in pounds sterling rather than in coins, because that is how the mints kept the books. 2 name the date borne by the coin.
