The 1916 shilling

S16M.2A
Mintage: 5,141,000
Mint: Melbourne
Mint mark: M below date

There are two known varieties of this coin which differ in the orientation of the 6 in the date but the difference is extremely subtle and not at all obvious without careful examination.

Reverse of 1916 shilling
| S16M.2A.1 Normal date with 16 sloping slightly to the left.
| S16M.2A.2 Upright 16 in date.

The following enlargements show the differences fairly clearly but an isolated coin may be difficult to classify.
