Struck at the Melbourne Mint in the economic boom following the end of the Second World War, this distinctive Threepence Variety is easily identified by the filled-in number '8' on its reverse.
This one-year-only Variety has fast cemented itself as a favourite among collectors. Bearing the Thomas Humphrey Paget effigy of George VI on the obverse, this distinctive coin is surprisingly affordable in Very Fine condition, offering a critical piece of the predecimal puzzle at a price to please all pockets! Better yet, it forms the perfect pair with a standard example, as presented here, allowing collectors to gain a true appreciation of its distinctive features.
