Great Britain 1787 Sixpence VF

  • Attractively toned reverse
  • Approximate PCGS 40-50 grade
  • Superior example of Australia’s first currency

While not explicitly listed at the time of Governor King’s Proclamation, it would certainly have circulated in the colony and been tacitly accepted as being of slightly greater value than 6P. What that value was would most certainly have been subject to negotiation!
