New Guinea Sterling Silver Shillings were struck for use in Australia’s New Guinea territory. All issues were minted at the Melbourne Mint in Australia, highlighting Australia’s direct role in producing the territory’s coinage.
Struck in sterling silver (.925), these shillings circulated during a turbulent wartime period and are now prized for their silver content, limited production, and strong Australian–Pacific historical connection.
