Notes:
Australia's first sixpence was dated 1910 and was struck by the Royal Mint in London. George William de Saules, the chief engraver at the Royal Mint, designed the portrait of Edward VII appearing on all the silver denominations for that year. The 1910 Sixpence proved to be a one-year type as the king died in May of that year before the coins arrived in Australia.
