My silver stacking journey has begun

in #hive-13681923 days ago

G'day silvergoldstackers community!
Now I have been interested in silver stacking as an investment for a while now and today my stacking journey has begun.

Now this is off to a very small start and as time goes by, I might blur the line of stacking and collecting...

But without further ado, here is my first 50% silver coin - a 1955 Australia sixpence.

The reverse has the Australian coat of arms featuring a kangaroo and emu with a shield and a star above it.

The Australian coat of arms has two iconic Australian animals and these animals are known to not be able to move backwards which is an interesting fact. So this represents Australia always moving forward.

On the obverse side there is a picture of a young queen Elizabeth II with the words "ELIZABETH II DEI GRATIA REGINA F:D:"
Which translates from Latin to "by the grace of God,Queen"

The diameter of this coin is 19mm and weighs in at 2.83 grams.

It's not much but it's a start!!

What a nice coin!!! I like the young Elizabeth in coins!

Welcome to #silvergoldstackers @vcclothing
Stacking begins with your first silver coin, though technically two coins or more is a stack with one on top of another.
1955 6 Pence is 50% or 0.500 fine silver.
I recall having a few silver Australian silver coins when my Father passed his collection to me. The coins were dated from when troops were returning from WWII along with a variety of European coins dated around that time.
I will be looking forward to see what you will share next.

Thank you @kerrislravenhill,
This coin will be my base for a future stack 🙂
These old coins have passed through so many hands over the years it's crazy to think about it!
Stay tuned for my next post which will make my #silvergoldstackers an official stack!

Very, very nice! I don't have many older Australian coins in my collection, they are very cool though. I'm glad to hear you are started on your silver and gold journey! It really becomes part of your life if you stick with it long enough! Congratulations!

What do you call a parade of rabbits hopping backward?
