Large crown sized coins are more subject to acquiring small dings and dents, simply due to their size. Very difficult to find crown sized coins with no dings at all, unless they were specifically struck for collectors, and have been well looked after.

The marks below the neck truncation appear to be bag marks, caused by another crown dropping on it, after being ejected from the minting press. Unfortunately, they are rather obvious. The other obverse dings may have been acquired at some later time.

The reverse of Australian crowns usually wear a bit more slowly than the obverse, due to the multiple high points of the design, which taken together, tend to protect the reverse field a bit better.

Can't see any wear, rims OK, so some sort of low MS grade, due to the dings.

Agree with Sel, MS61, here's one I got graded recently which came back at exactly that grade:

I am not seeing much lustre on this one, Maybe it's just the images.
I can't see any obvious wear on the coin but it is harshly "Bagged".
I think Sel nailed it at MS61.
