There were only three years from 1938 to 1963 in which the Australian Florin (Two Shillings) was minted at a Mint other than the Melbourne Mint.
Some 1942, 1943 and 1944 Florins were minted at the San Francisco Mint. There is a very small "S" mintmark between the 9 and the 4 on these coins.
Florins minted in Melbourne during this period have no mintmark.

∙ 13y agoDue to an absence of differences on any other Florins, presumably you refer to the Australian 1954 Florin.

∙ 12y agoAn Australian 1943 Florin (Two Shillings) looks the same as all other Australian Florins from the 1938 to 1945 period.
They have a George VI head on the obverse designed by Thomas H Paget.
The reverse has the relatively new, Australian Coat of Arms design by George Kruger Gray, with the words "FLORIN" around the circumference at the top, "AUSTRALIA" around the bottom, and "1943" just above the "AUSTRALIA".
The composition of the coin is 92.5% silver and 7.5% copper (sterling silver).
It has a reeded edge, weighs 11.31 grams and is 28.5 mm in diameter.
11 million of the 1943 Australian Florins minted were minted at the San Francisco Mint and have an "S" mintmark below the Coat of Arms and above the 1943. All others were minted at the Melbourne Mint and have no mintmark.
Pictures of a specific coin are difficult to come by. Frequently you should be able to find one on eBay, but the picture is withdrawn after the coin is sold.

Is the 1943 Australian penny minted in Perth rare?
The Australian 1943 Penny was minted variously at the Melbourne Mint (no mintmark), Perth Mint (mintmark is a dot after the Y in PENNY "Y.") and Bombay Mint (mintmark is an "I" under King George's bust).
Where to find the mintmark on a 1944 Florin?
It would depend on the Florin of which country you refer to. The Florins of most British Empire countries were minted at only one mint in 1944, therefore a mintmark was not used. The 1944 Australian Florin was minted both at the Melbourne Mint and the San Francisco Mint. Those minted at the Melbourne Mint have no mintmark. Those minted at the San Francisco Mint have a small "S" above the date and below the Coat of Arms.
