What is an Australian Sixpence?

An Australian Sixpence was a coin of silver appearance which was first minted in London in 1910 and last minted in Melbourne in 1963. From 1910 to 1945, their composition was 92.5% silver and 7.5% copper (sterling silver). They had a milled edge, weighed 2.83 grams and were 19 mm in diameter. From 1946 to 1963, their composition was 50% silver, 40% copper, 5% zinc and 5% nickel. They had a milled edge, weighed 2.83 grams and were 19 mm in diameter. All Australian coins have the reigning Monarch on the obverse, and the Sixpence had the Australian "Coat of Arms" on the reverse with the word SIXPENCE around the top and the year at the bottom. They were progressively withdrawn from circulation after the introduction of Decimal Currency on the 14th of February, 1966. In modern currency, a Sixpence was the equivalent of 5 cents. There were no Sixpences issued in 1913, 1915, 1929 to 1933, 1937, 1947 and 1949. The rarest Australian Sixpence is the 1918 coin and the 1922, 1924, 1939, 1952 and 1953 coins are considered to be scarce. From a coin collectors perspective, Australian Sixpences, depending on year, condition and method of minting, can be worth anything from $1 to $145,000 AUD. Please note that since the Sixpence is part of a redundant or obsolete currency, it no longer has an "exchange rate" with other currencies.
