Australia 1950 Off Centre Penny

Large sized off centre strikes are always impressive, and this Aussie penny is no exception. While Australian misstrikes such as this are relatively scarce, it's easier to find pre decimal examples than post 1966 decimal strikes, presumably due to the fact that a new mint was built in Canberra for the decimal changeover, which had better quality control than the old mints in Melbourne and Perth.
