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.

In 1961 South Africa reformed its currency, abandoning the old pound for the decimal rand. Before that the pound followed the same system as in the UK, with 20 shillings to the pound and 12 pence to the shilling. Here we can offer you a selection of the last shillings struck between 1953 and 1960 with the young laureate head of Elizabeth II. These Uncirculated coins are .500 silver.
