Thank-you for your response,I have wondered this ,the tarnishing and wear seem to match the coin and the impression,which would indicate the inprint to have occurred very shortly after minting.It looks like a 5 ,the size used for say a 50 cent Australian coin, being 1930 british mint there is no coin that I am aware of the had a 5 that size and was being minted in 1930 which could have coursed this ,are you aware of any?
