The 1932 florin is easily the scarcest of the standard series florins and the 1933 comes in second. Both of these coins command premium prices for high-grade coins and the 1932 coin is expensive even in fairly low grades.

There are no reports of any varieties for any of these florins although the 1933 specimen shown here has a re-entered date.

The Melbourne Centenary florin bears the dates 1934-35 but all were minted in 1935 and so it is classified as a coin of that year.
