Australia 1955 Melbourne Mint Proof Sixpence
Struck by the Melbourne Mint in 1955 for collectors and investors, the silver sixpence dated 1955 does not feature a mintmark as do most of the proof coins minted at the Melbourne Mint.
The mintage of 1200 proofs were originally offered for sale at a premium by the Melbourne Mint in Australia and abroad - especially the United States of America where a lot of these coins were purchased.
The term 'proof' refers to a coin's method of manufacture not its state of preservation. Australian Proof coins are struck from polished or specially prepared dies they have near brilliant surfaces, very sharp rims with perfect detail, compared to the millions that were struck for circulation.
