AUSTRALIAN COINAGE OF
QUEEN ELIZABETH II 1953-1964

This is a beautifully presented collection of pre decimal coins that were
released during Queen Elizabeth II's reign, 1953 - 1964. Queen
Elizabeth II acceded to the throne in 1952, following the death of King
George VI. The first Australian coins with her portrait are dated 1953,
the year of her coronation. Two major changes were made to the
obverse inscription. One change, deletion of the religious title 'F:D'
(Defender of the Faith), caused a controversy. The 1954 Royal Visit
commemorative florin carried the 'F:D' inscription, and by 1956 all
denominations again had the lettering.
These coins come to you in a presentation folder with some information
about Queen Elizabeth II and the coins themselves. Containing six
coins in total, the set includes a Halfpenny minted between 1953 -
1964 (excluding 1956-58), a Penny minted between 1953 -1964
(except 1954), a Threepence minted between 1953 - 1964, a Sixpence
minted between 1953 - 1963, a Shilling minted between 1953 - 1963
and a Florin minted between 1953 - 1963 (except 1955). Each features
the obverse design by Mary Gillick. This is an excellent way to collect
pre decimal coins in a brilliantly displayed folder.
