An outstanding tribute to Australia’s conversion to decimal currency in 1966, the Australian Currency Changeover Portfolio comprises the very LAST dated coins of the predecimal era and the very FIRST dated coins of the decimal period!
Superbly presented, eminently historic and utterly comprehensive, this impressive set is highlighted by the 1963 Sixpence, Shilling and Florin, along with the 1964 Halfpenny, Penny and Threepence. The final dates of their respective predecimal denominations, each coin bears the first coinage portrait of the record-breaking reign of Queen Elizabeth II, created by Mary Gillick.
The most authentic commemoration one could imagine, these vital ‘last issue’ predecimal dates are united with the first coins of the decimal era. Naturally among the most highly valued coins of the decimal series, the 1966 issue comprised the 1c, 2c, 5c, 10c, 20c and famous Silver Round 50c – Australia’s only issued decimal coin struck from precious metal. All six 1966 coins carry the first decimal coinage portrait of Elizabeth II, created by Arnold Machin.
