While many saw heavy circulation during the 1940s and 1950s, this example has survived in Extremely Fine condition. It retains strong overall design relief across the Kangaroo, Emu, and central shield, making it a well-preserved and affordable option for collectors completing their George VI sixpence date run.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Loose Change Coins","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51005934797047,"sku":"N#5321-45-Ef","price":9.5,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0118\/3652\/2558\/files\/N_5321-42-Ef_1.jpg?v=1786148236","url":"https:\/\/loosechangecoins.com.au\/products\/1945-australian-sixpence-extremely-fine","provider":"Loose Change Coins","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
