Australia 1961 Perth Proof Halfpenny & Penny Pair PCGS PR66RD
Struck by the Perth Mint in 1961 for collectors and investors, the 1961 halfpenny and penny features the usual dot after "Y" as so many other coins minted at the Perth Mint.
A small number of just 1040 proofs were originally offered for sale at a premium by the Perth 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.
