1921 Square Pattern Penny Type 12 PCGS SP64
The square pennies and halfpennies of the early twentieth century were intended to replace the heavy copper coinage circulating at the time. Known as Kookaburra patterns, several variations were struck, each featuring subtle design changes. This series has become highly collectible, appealing to both world coin enthusiasts and Commonwealth specialists alike. The coin offered here is one of the more accessible examples. While the exact mintage remains unknown, only a small number of pieces exist today, making it genuinely rare. It recently surfaced from an old East Melbourne collection and has been professionally graded by PCGS for the first time. If you're seeking an affordable test strike or a distinctive Australian pattern coin to elevate your collection, this is an excellent opportunity.
