Grading:
The grading of coins is a way to assess their condition. The term "AUSTRALIA 1 Florin" with the year 1917 and mint mark "M" indicates that the coin is likely in AU (About Uncirculated) condition. AU coins may show slight wear on the highest points of the design, but overall, they still have much of their original luster.
Numismatic Value:
The value of a coin depends on various factors, including its rarity, condition, and demand among collectors. Coins in better condition and with lower mintages tend to have higher values in the numismatic market.
