  • Notes:
  • The silver coins of 1922 are among the poorest struck of the Commonwealth series, and the Sydney-struck sixpences in particular usually exhibit extensive die cracking and grainy surfaces as a result of being struck on deteriorating dies. It is certain that the master die responsible for the 1922 sixpences collapsed, as this mintage signals the end of the sixpence reverse with 140 edge denticles which had begun in 1910. The new master reverse die for the 1923 sixpences carried 143 denticles, a configuration that continued with all Australian-struck sixpences until 1963. The London-struck 1951 PL Sixpence with 127 reverse denticles is the only sixpence not to follow suit.
