All Australian 1920 Pennies were minted at either the Melbourne or Sydney Mints. None were minted in London or Calcutta.
If you refer to the "diamonds" on the obverse side of Australian Pennies (and all other Australian coins from 1953 to 1964), they are merely a spacer. The function was previously performed by a semicolon and/or a full stop on pre-1953 coins.
What is the difference between the 1911 Penny minted in Perth? (and what?)No Australian Pennies were minted at the Perth Mint until 1940.
If you mean a 1902 or 1903 British Penny, nothing, they are identical other than the date. The big difference is between 1901 and 1902. Queen Victoria was on the obverse of all British coins pre-1902. Edward VII is on the obverse of all British Pennies from 1902 to 1910. The reverse of all British Pennies from 1895 to 1910 used the same reverse die.
There is no adequate explanation for this, but the reverse of the 1922 British Penny has a very similar, but not identical reverse to the 1927 penny, a coin minted 5 years later. The area of interest seems to be Britannia's index finger which is a little shorter. Many coin catalogues point out that there is a difference, but do not go on to explain it.
The 1949 Australian pennies are worth more than 50 United States Dollars.
Yes there is a diff between old Canadian pennies and new ones
You do not specify a denomination or a year. Australian predecimal coins minted at the Royal Mint London prior to 1950, have no mintmark. Australian Halfpennies and Pennies minted at the Calcutta Mint in India in 1916 to 1918 inclusive, have an "I" mintmark below the bottom scroll on the reverse of the coins. Australian Halfpennies and Pennies minted at the Bombay Mint in India in 1942 and 1943, have an "I" mintmark below the head of George VI on the obverse of the coins.
The difference is tat the size changes a little, an also that Post 1981 pennies have had another meneral added to it
With the possible exception of traders tokens (with the traders business name on them), there were no "Australian" pennies minted prior to 1911. The only Pennies circulating in Australia prior to 1911 were British Pennies.
Australian 1964 Pennies were minted in 1964, so as at January 2011, they are 47 years old.
