Australia George V Halfpenny Fine

Between 1872 and 1969 Fiji used a pre-decimal pound similar to that used in the United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand. However, there were some notable differences in the coinage used here, and one of them was the smaller copper-nickel penny with a hole. On the obverse there is a legend (Queen Elizabeth the Second) and crown around the hole, while the reverse shows the country’s name, denomination and date. We now have a number of these uniquely designed pennies dated 1966 in Brilliant Uncirculated condition to add to your collections.
