Sixpence

Hi

I have a 1910 sixpence, but i don't know what country it's from. I am guessing somewhere down under cos of the kangaroo, but don't know for sure. Also, how many were made, and when was it that Australia changed to dollars? I don't need a value, it'll be worth fairly little. Picture attached!

Thanks

That's Australian,

They went Decimal in 1966 as far as I can make out.

The 1910 Sixpence is one of 3,046,000 and worth about £3.00 if it was fine. It is sterling silver.

...and that was the first year they made dedicated Australian coins, and of course the only year with king Edward VII. Before then I think they used a mixture of English coins and their own tokens when there were shortages. Similar situaiton in New Zealand. The tokens are all very collectable.
