Jazinta Posted July 16, 2013 Report Share Posted July 16, 2013 The first is Italian 50 Lira coin of Italy. And the second, maybe a British/Australian sixpence or shilling, in copper-nickel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ccg Posted July 17, 2013 Report Share Posted July 17, 2013 And the second, maybe a British/Australian sixpence or shilling, in copper-nickel. Â Australia did not produce pre-decimal coinage in c/n. New Zealand, on the other hand, yes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazinta Posted July 17, 2013 Report Share Posted July 17, 2013 Â Australia did not produce pre-decimal coinage in c/n. New Zealand, on the other hand, yes. Â But the New Zealand Side with the queen is different. The cross is at the left and not in the top. Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jazinta Posted July 18, 2013 Report Share Posted July 18, 2013 It is going to be British most likely. Of the period 1954-1967 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
