Notes:
The obverse stops on this date are diamond shaped to mark the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II. The majority of 1953 Florins were struck with small reverse edge denticles and this continued on with the 1954 Florin with 'Coat of Arms' reverse. Twelve sets of 'specimen or proof' Australian silver coins dated 1953, which included the florin of this variety, were struck for the Chase Manhattan Money Museum.
