The Australian Sixpence from 1946 to 1963 was made from 50% silver, 40% copper, 5% zinc and 5% nickel and weighed 2.83 grams.
A little more than half of the weight of the coin is silver, so you are looking at about 1.5 to 1.6 grams of silver at current bullion prices.
It will cost you more than that to melt it down and separate the metals.
If your coin is in good condition, a coin dealer might give you a few dollars for it.
