There is no silver in any circulating Australian decimal coin.
The 1966 Mexican peso is about ten percent silver so its value fluctuates with the silver market. Its value also fluctuates depending on the wear of the coin.
The only Australian decimal general circulation coin to contain any silver was the 1966 "round" 50 cent coin. It was made from 80% silver and 20% copper. The price of silver soared in 1966/67 and the silver content became much more valuable than the face value of 50 cents. The coins were soon withdrawn from circulation and replaced in 1969 with the more familiar 12 sided cupro-nickel 50 cent coin.
No currently circulating Australian coin contains any silver. The only Australian 50 cent coin to contain any silver was the round 1966 coin which had an 80% silver content, about 0.3416 ounces. At today's prices about $10.70 USD.
"Afrika Borwa" means "South Africa" in the Sepedi language. The value of your coin would depend on its year of mintage, denomination and condition.
Check that coin again. The U.S. didn't mint any silver dollars in the 1960s.

The short answer is 1966. Australias last "silver" predecimal coins contained 50% silver. The last of these coins were minted in 1963 and 1964 and were withdrawn soon after decimalisation in February 1966. The only Australian decimal general circulation to ever contain silver, was the 1966 (round) 50 cent coin which had an 80% silver content. Due to the soaring price of silver a short time later, and with the benefit of the wisdom of hindsight, this was a terrible blunder since the silver content of the coin was worth much more than 50 cents, and these coins were withdrawn very quickly.
Since it's silver! Between $20-$30. Uncirculated, about $50 or more.
