Coin and Paper Money Collecting/1954 Florin

Question
I have a 1954 commemorative florin in used condition and was wondering what the value of this coin is? Thanking you.

Answer
Hi Janine, There were 4 million Australian Florins minted in Melbourne that one year to celebrate the Royal Visit of Queen Elizabeth II (1952-). It contains .1818 and collector value may be worth about $3.25 (U.S.) with heavy wear to around $3.50 with moderate wear to maybe $4 with light wear depending on amount of collector demand..
You might try Ebay.com for similar pieces for comparison.
You might also try a library for a copy of the Standard Catalog of World Coins for pictures, values and lots more interesting info.
