One Shilling coins were potentially minted by most of the British Empire/Commonwealth countries having their own currencies based on the British Imperial currency system in 1927.
The 1927 Australian Shilling has the Australian Coat of Arms on the reverse. If you look at the teeny tiny printing in the scroll at the bottom of the Coat of Arms, you will see "ADVANCE Australia". All Australian Coins have "AUSTRALIA" on them somewhere.
The 1927 British Shilling shows a lion rampant on a crown on the reverse. British Coins are almost unique in the world by never having the country name on them.
