More about Australian silver coins

The above table of coins includes circulating Australina coins from 1910-1966. These coins contain sterling silver, unlike modern money that contains no bullion unless they are commemorative or collector coins.

In general, the amount of silver within circulating coins from Australia can be determined by their dates.

  • Pre-decimal Australin coins made between 1910 and 1945 contain 92.5 percent silver
  • Circulating coins from 1946 to 1963 contain 50 percent silver
  • In 1966, the 50 cent coin was made of 80 percent silver

It's very important to remember that depending on a coin's condition and rarity, its melt value may not be worth as much as its numismatic value. Coins that are sought after by collectors will typically always sale for more than its silver worth.
