Selection of Australian Pennies - Approx. 21 Coins - Mixed Dates

Australia. Pre-decimal bronze pennies. Bulk lot of circulated examples.



Twenty-one Australian pre-decimal bronze pennies in one lot. For a beginning date set collector, this is a ready-made starting point. For the more casual buyer, it is a handful of genuine pre-decimal copper with kangaroos and monarch portraits, real coins from before Australia went decimal in 1966.



Most are heavily worn and date legibility varies, but photos suggest a mix from the 1950s and 1960s. The familiar kangaroo reverse design by George Kruger Gray runs throughout, with a mix of George VI and Elizabeth II obverse portraits based on the likely date range. Overall condition runs from Poor to Good (P-1 to G-6): expect deep chocolate-brown patina, significant wear, and surface oxidation typical of coins that did their time in circulation. One coin appears to have a drilled hole, which is worth noting. No obvious key dates such as 1930 or 1925 are visible, though heavy wear makes definitive reads from photos alone difficult.
