About this Coin

When Australia changed over to decimal currency, the monumental task of minting the new coins required assistance from the Royal Mint London. This 1966 5c coin is one of these historic pieces, with a distinct die marker that sets it apart from coins minted in Canberra. With a mintage of 30 million from London, this coin is a fascinating piece of Australia's numismatic history.
