The most valuable New Zealand Sixpence would be the 1957 "Strapless" coin.
Not all 1957 Sixpences were strapless, but about 200,000 of the 2.4 million minted show Queen Elizabeth with a bare right shoulder, ie. no garment strap.
Second would be the 1941 and 1942 Sixpences.

What 1956 coins are rare?
You do not specify a country. As far as coins are concerned, the terms "rare" and "valuable" are not the same thing and do not necessarily go hand in hand. There are no 1956 Australian, British or New Zealand coins that could be considered to be rare. Variants of the 1956 New Zealand Penny and Threepence are valuable. About 50,000 Pennies of a total of 3.6 million minted and 300,000 Threepences of a total of 4.8 million minted, were struck showing Queen Elizabeth II with a bare shoulder. These are referred to as the "strapless" coins. There was a similar "strapless" Sixpence minted in 1957. The greatest value is associated with mint uncirculated coins or coins in excellent condition.
