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".
