1951M Australian Sixpence About Uncirculated

Description

The 1951M Australian Sixpence is a silver coin struck at the Melbourne Mint during the post-war period. Offered in About Uncirculated condition, it displays sharp detail and light signs of handling.

From 1946 onwards, Australian sixpences were minted with 50% silver content, reflecting changes in metal availability and economic conditions post-World War II. The “M” mintmark identifies this coin as produced in Melbourne, which had a smaller output compared to other mints, adding collector interest.

Key Features:

• Year: 1951
• Mintmark: M (Melbourne)
• Metal: 50% Silver
• Condition: About Uncirculated – minimal wear with full detail
• Obverse: King George VI
• Reverse: Australian Coat of Arms

This coin is valued for its Melbourne mintmark and as part of the post-war series of Australian silver sixpences, produced with reduced silver content.
