Notes:

Actual mintages were Melbourne - 2,649,840 and Sydney - 2,016,000. Identical dies were used so the issuing mint for a particular 1924 penny cannot be determined.

Two obverse die varieties were used to produce 1924 pennies - so called London and Indian dies. The Indian variety is scarce. See the special article.
