The Australian 1954 Florin (Two Shillings)(Royal Visit Commemorative), was minted only as a 50% silver coin. There is no evidence suggesting that the coin was ever produced in gold. If you have a gold coin, it is because somebody had it plated. Modified coins have no value.

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.

What is the history of a coin that is an Elizabeth II - two shillings - from 1954 I am more interested in the history than the value...?
I presume you refer to the Australian Florin which seems to be the only 1954 Florin (2 Shilling) that is significantly different from the rest. It is a Commemorative coin issued for the Royal Visit to Australia by Queen Elizabeth II, and was minted in Melbourne. Its composition is 50% silver, 40% copper, 5% zinc, 5% nickel, the same as all Australian Florins from 1938 onwards. The obverse is the same design for the period, featuring a youthful Queen Elizabeth II, designed by Mary Gillick. The reverse is the only significant difference featuring a "British Lion" and an "Australian Kangaroo" standing side by side, with "Australian Florin" around the top, and the year "1954" at the bottom, and designed by William Leslie Bowles. An Australian 1954 Florin, uncirculated and in absolute mint condition could fetch up to $50 AUD. If it has been circulated but still in good condition, it might fetch anything from $3.50 to $12 AUD. There were 2 million minted. A reputable coin dealer will be able to give a more accurate valuation.

The 1927 Australian Halfpenny is almost identical to the 1911 Halfpenny shown. The 1927 Australian Florin is almost identical to the 1911 Florin shown. See the links below.
