Notes:
The obverse stops on this date are diamond shaped. This coin is sometimes found with a superior finish, the result of having been struck on experimental chrome dies, and is sometimes confused with a proof strike. It is speculated that unused dies for the 1954 Sixpence were brought back into production after the 'last' Australian sixpences were supposedly struck in 1963, as large numbers have survived in mint sate.
