There were two Kingsford Smith dollars issued that year. The other has a smaller head and plane superimposed over a map of the world. It was not issued for general circulation as only about 245,000 were minted. regards, Title: Re: 1997 $1 coin Post by: gregk on November 25, 2007, 03:40:55 PM "Smithy" was also on the decimal $20 note from 1966-1994.
Title: Re: 1997 $1 coin Post by: Goose on November 26, 2007, 12:31:18 AM I live in Minnesota and just got back from visiting a daughter in Illinois for Thanksgiving. Yesterday, we visited a few antique stores, then hit a few loan shops. In a 'junk' box at one of the stores, I picked out a fine 1943 Aussie Florin (silver) and a U K 1947 'Two Shillings'....at $1 each. The Florin was the only silver in the batch.
Since joining KOTCT, I've taken particular interest in Aussie coins....thanks everyone in expanding my collections of coins.

When I was a kid, I was even more interested in airplanes than coins, but not sure I can trust my memory.
