A unique presentation, encompassing both sides of the predecimal-decimal divide, this exciting release unites Australia’s LAST halfpenny & penny coin dates with the nation’s FIRST 1c & 2c coin dates!
Low denominations, crucial for everyday transactions, copper coins have always played a special role in the hearts and minds ofAustralians. From the time that the 1797 Cartwheel Penny triggered the nation’s first official currency system, Governor Philip Gidley King’s Proclamation of 1800, copper coins have formed the bedrock upon which Australian numismatics has been built.
From the issue of the first halfpenny in 1911 to the withdrawal of the last 1c in 1992, Australia’s low denomination copper coinage was a familiar sight to people of all ages for more than eight decades of the 20th century. Historic, symbolic and always popular with collectors, the 1964 Halfpenny & Penny and the 1966 1c & 2c form a crucial part of that heritage.
Featuring the last predecimal and first decimal copper coins in highly collectable Very Fine to About Uncirculated quality, this affordable set is a fine tribute to the changeover from predecimal to decimal currency – the most important moment in Australia’s currency history. Click add to cart now
