Best Answer

From 1937 to 1966 inclusive, British Shilling coins were minted with one of two different reverse designs.

Shillings with what is known as the "English" reverse, shows the English Coat of Arms which depicts three lions (which are actually leopards).

Shillings with what is known as the "Scottish" reverse, shows the Scottish Coat of Arms which depicts a lion rampant.

Both Coats of Arms are "Crowned".

Is a 1927 Shilling Australian or British?

One Shilling coins were potentially minted by most of the British Empire/Commonwealth countries having their own currencies based on the British Imperial currency system in 1927. The 1927 Australian Shilling has the Australian Coat of Arms on the reverse. If you look at the teeny tiny printing in the scroll at the bottom of the Coat of Arms, you will see "ADVANCE AUSTRALIA". All Australian coins have "AUSTRALIA" on them somewhere. The 1927 British Shilling shows a lion rampant on a crown on the reverse. British coins are almost unique in the world by never having the country name on them.
