An Australian one shilling was a silver pre-decimal coin (1/-) worth 1/20th of a pound, minted from 1910 to 1963, featuring the Australian Coat of Arms (early) or a Merino ram (later), and was a standard part of the British-based currency until Australia switched to decimalisation in 1966. These coins had varying silver content (92.5% then 50%) and are now collected as numismatic items, with dates like 1919, 1921 (star), and 1933 being particularly sought after.
Key Characteristics
Value: 1 Shilling (1/-) = 12 Pence (12p) = 1/20th of a Pound.
Circulation: 1910 - 1963 (replaced by decimal currency in 1966).
Composition: Silver (.925 fine, 1910-1945) or Silver (.500 fine, 1946-1963).
Designs: Early coins (George V) showed the Coat of Arms; later coins (George VI, Elizabeth II) showed the Merino Ram.
Nickname: Often called a "bob".

Why are users outbidding themselves?
When a bid is placed, this is the maximum amount a person is willing to bid for the product. Our system will then automatically bid on behalf of the bidder, incrementally increasing the bid up to the maximum to maintain their position as the highest bidder.
When there is an icon indicating 'Automatic Bid', it means our system is actively placing bids for the bidder based on their maximum bid. This may appear as if bidders are outbidding themselves, but it's simply a result of the system updating the bid to reflect the bidders maximum limit.
