This specimen was lot 29063 in Heritage sale 3037 (New York, January 2015), where it sold for $1,762.50. The catalog description<sup>[1]</sup> noted, "Elizabeth II Florin 1954-(M) MS65 PCGS, Melbourne mint. Handsome, with attractive, dappled toning and virtually pristine surfaces that promote fully-raised devices. A gem example and a choice representative from this short-lived two year series.

A commemorative honoring a Royal Visit ([[Australia 1954 florin KM-55|KM 55]]) was extensively saved and is today slightly more available than the regular issue (KM 54).

''Specification:'' 11.31 g, .500 fine silver, 28.5 mm diameter.
