The coins were initially minted in England; however, Australia began to mint their own from the year of 1916 at branches of the Royal Mint in Sydney and Melbourne.

The coins which made up Australia's pre-decimal currency were identical to British currency in the characteristics of weight and size.

The Coinage Act of 1909–1947, authorised the issue of Australian coins in the select denominations, including the sixpence. By 1916 all silver denominations, including the sixpence, could be minted at the Royal Mint branch in Melbourne. Unique Australian currency was created with decimalisation in 1966.

Until 1946, each sixpence was made of 92.5% silver. Post 1946, each sixpence contained 50% silver.   This 1942 Sixpence was minted in Denver, USA.
