Description
**Important** Please read below description on how to avoid high shipping costs.
Offered here is a charming 1943-S Australia 1 Shilling featuring the illustrious portrait of King George VI on the obverse and a detailed ram's head on the reverse, the work of renowned designers Thomas Humphrey Paget and George Kruger Gray. This coin is made of .925 sterling silver, showcasing not only its collectible value but also its intrinsic bullion worth.
Struck at the San Francisco Mint during World War II under the demands of the time, this 1 Shilling is categorized as being in 'Very Good' condition. It exhibits moderate, even wear typical of circulating coins, with clear details softened from its history. Light, natural toning adds to its character, and you can enjoy its historical significance and aesthetic appeal without the worry of major scratches or cleaning.
A rare find for collectors, this coin reflects both a rich history and the artistry of its designers. Don't miss the opportunity to own this interesting piece of numismatic heritage! Inventory #235.

If you paid for the item via Lodestar Auctions or Proxibid we will have your items packaged and send you a link to choose and pay for shipping on the Lodestar Auctions Website.
**Important** Live Auctioneers has their own shipping program. We find it to be very expensive and slow. This is the rate you see advertised when bidding. We do not recommend using them. If you do use them you must checkout via Live Auctioneers and choose LiveShip at checkout. If you pay via Live Auctioneers and want our In-house shipping you must choose self-arranged shipping at checkout. If you checkout via Lodestar Auctions this does not apply. I apologize if this is confusing, Live Auctioneers purposely arranged it this way to push their own overpriced shipping service. We are not happy about this and are trying to make it work.
