Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1953-1954 Australian Elizabeth II 1 Shilling coin is that it was minted with a unique error. Some coins were struck with a misprinted obverse die, resulting in a rare variation known as the "upside-down horse" error. This error features the horse on the coin's reverse (back) side appearing upside-down, creating a distinctive and highly sought-after collector's item.
