Australia Sixpence 1963 Unc

In 1966 Australia switched from its old pre-decimal pound to its new decimal dollar, which consisted of 100 cents. However, the country struck its last ever sixpences three years earlier in 1963. Unlike their UK counterparts, these coins were still being struck in .500 silver. They bear the image of a young Elizabeth II wearing a laurel wreath and the coat of arms of Australia.
