    Very nice. I wonder how that was stored (perhaps in a felt box?) to make it go that colour. Other than 1927 parliament florins you almost never see Australian silver toned like that.

    Yes very true... i picked it up around 5 years back and it was already as it is now..

    have to concur that most australia pre decimal dosent tend to rainbow tone much.. which makes this all the nicer.

    I am sure the scribing has destroyed the numi appeal but love tokens have there own desirability.. and this coin is in very high grade..

    regards,
