History

The Australian 1930 Penny is the rarest coin that was ever released into general circulation in Australia. Only three thousand were reputed to have been struck. There are only 6 proof coins known to exist, 3 in museums and 3 in private collections.  A 1930 UNC example was recently on display at the Powerhouse Museum and has an estimated value of more than one million dollars.  A private collector recently declined an offer of $1,000,000 AUD for his proof coin whilst another has accepted an offer of AUD$650,000.
