The British Sixpence has never been issued as a bronze coin.
The British Sixpence was first issued around 1551 and has been made from silver of varying quality until 1947.
From 1817 to 1920 it was made from sterling silver. From 1920 to 1946 it was made from 50% silver and, from 1947 until its last minting in 1967, it was made from a copper nickel alloy.
Depending on where and how the coin has been stored, a discolouration may have developed on the coin giving it a dirty gold, or perhaps a brownish colour.
