1917 Australia One Shilling George V Silver Coin
This 1917 Australia One Shilling silver coin was struck during the early years of the Commonwealth of Australia, featuring King George V on the obverse in coronation attire and the iconic Australian coat of arms on the reverse with a kangaroo and emu supporting a shield. Issued as part of the British Empire’s sterling silver coinage system, these shillings circulated widely through the Australian economy in the years following Federation, serving as everyday currency during World War I and the interwar period. The design reflects Australia’s growing national identity while remaining tied to British traditions, with the motto “ADVANCE AUSTRALIA” proudly displayed. As a .925 fine silver piece from a common yet historically significant date, this circulated example offers collectors and stackers a tangible piece of early 20th-century Australian history and an affordable way to own Empire-era silver coinage with strong regional character.
