Where do you find the mintmark on Australian coins?

Mintmarks, if they are used at all, could be almost anywhere on predecimal (pre-1966) Australian coins. You would need to be quite specific about a particular coin in a particular year. Mintmarks, if they are used at all on Australian decimal coins, constitute minor alterations to parts of the animal on the reverse design. If you are keen to find out, I can recommend the following book which contains description and pictures showing mintmarks and where to find them.

Where is the mintmark on a 1943 Australian Penny?

Australian 1920 pennies were minted in both Melbourne and Sydney. On the reverse side underneath the word "PENNY", is a scroll. Coins minted in Melbourne will have a small dot under the scroll, coins minted in Sydney will have a small dot above the scroll. Some coins have no dot and could have been minted at either the Melbourne or Sydney Mints. The "no dots" coins are classified as rare. This means of determining the mint, only applies to 1920 pennies.
