It has the same dimensions and composition as the British pre-decimal florin, from which it is derived (for a time, the coins circulated in parallel and were interchangeable in Australia - but not in the United Kingdom). A \u003cb\u003eFlorin\u003c\/b\u003e is equal to two shillings, or 24 pence, or one tenth of a pound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis was the first years that 50% silver was employed for the florin denomination\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe reverse of the first type of Australian florin coins featured the 1908 Coat of Arms; it became obsolete almost immediately, since Australia received a new Coat of Arms in 1912.
