Although not the rarest Australian coin the 1930 Penny is the most sought after for completing pre-decimal sets with only around 1500 examples known to exist. No Pennies were ordered by the Federal Treasury during the height of the depression in 1930 but the following year a small order was placed and some released to visitors of the Melbourne Mint.
Catalogues and auction values have shown how prices have escalated in Very Fine condition since the 1960's. (In 1965 £150 ($300) 1974 $700 1980 $5250 1994 $10 000 2002 $20 000 2012 $50 000).
