Notes:

Actual mintages were Melbourne - 9,529,440 and Perth - 3,168,000. Identical dies were used so the issuing mint for a particular 1922 penny cannot be determined.

Known Varieties & Errors:

Two obverse die varieties were used to produce 1922 pennies - so called London and Indian dies. See the special article.

  1. 1.5 mm gap between 1 and 9 in date on reverse. (Value: $2 - Fine, 1974)
