@lordtimoty shared some cool silver Australian coins the other day so I figured to share two cool silver Australian shillings I recently acquired:
The first which is from 1958 features on the front side Queen Elizabeth and reads
+ELIZABETH·II·DEI·GRATIA·REGINA·F:D: M · G ·
for:
ELIZABETH II DEI GRATIA REGINA FIDEI DEFENSATRIX / Elizabeth II by the Grace of God, Queen, Defender of the Faith (LMAO!)
whereas the second from 1946 features GEORGE IV and reads
GEORGIVS VI D:G:BR:OMN:REX F:D:IND:IMP for
George VI by the Grace of God, King of all the British territories, Defender of the Faith, Emperor of India
On the back side both of them feature a Ram's head
Each coin is about the size of a euro coin and has 5.65 g of 0.500 silver
And here's a comparison to the rest of silver Australian coins I own, 50 cents from 1966 and six pence from 1962:
All 4 have a total of 17.689 g silver. Neat!
