The 1925 penny is Australia's 2nd rarest penny and is one of the most keenly sought coins in the entire Commonwealth series. Royal Mint records seem to indicate that it was struck quite late in 1925, mainly to make sure there was no chance that Australian shop tills ran short of pennies over the 1925 Christmas break. Although it isn't anywhere near as rare in average condition as the 1930 Australian penny, the 1925 penny is often the first key date Commonwealth coin that many collectors acquire when starting their journey into Australian numismatics. This coin can be classified as the "Q Die State" variety - it has a die crack below the first "O" in COMMONWEALTH on the reverse, which to some makes that letter look like a Q. Interestingly, there is also a clear dot after the last "A" in "AUSTRALIA". Specifications Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Mauris tempor sit amet arcu eu aliquet.
