Notes:
Two distinct varieties occur in the 1926 Sixpence. A small number of 1926 proof sixpences were struck for institutional collections featuring a '2' with a serif on the base and the die continued to produce a small run of circulation strikes. The 'serifed 2' was first used on the 1920 Sixpence and last appeared on the 1928 Sixpence, but for some reason was not used on the major production run of the 1926 sixpences which have a 'straight bar' on the base of the '2'. Unusually in this instance, it is the 'straight bar' variety that is the more common of the two types.
