Penny Minted from 1911 to 1964, these coins are a testament to Australia’s rich numismatic heritage and evolving national identity. The earlier pennies, featuring the Commonwealth of Australia design, and the later Kangaroo pennies, symbolise the country’s journey from a British colony to an independent nation with its unique identity.

Threepence The Threepence, often referred to as the ‘Threepenny bit,’ is a small but charming coin. These silver coins are cherished for their intricate design and historical significance, as they were used during the transition to decimal currency.

Sixpence The Sixpence, with its intricate designs and historical significance, holds a special place in the hearts of collectors. It’s not only a piece of Australia’s history but also a glimpse into the nation’s cultural and economic changes.

Shilling The Shilling, a versatile coin used extensively in the pre-decimal currency system, embodies the essence of everyday Australian life in the mid-20th century. This coin carries the history of an era gone by and is a valuable addition to any collection.

Florin The Florin, with its distinctive design featuring Australia’s coat of arms, is an iconic piece of Australian numismatics. Minted in both 92.5% sterling silver and 50% silver, the Florin offers a glimpse into Australia’s transition to decimal currency, making it a must-have for collectors of all levels.

Crown The Australian Crown is a symbol of prestige and grandeur. These large-sized coins, originally minted in silver, were issued to commemorate significant events and royal occasions.
