Every year above opens to the documents behind its figure. 1 of 54 also have a page of their own, where there was more to say than a row can hold.

What it is made of

Not copied from a table. Each row is the standard the instrument named beside it actually prescribed, and the fine metal weight is derived from that standard rather than looked up. Where a column says "not stated", the instrument does not state it and we will not supply a number it does not carry.

In force	Standard weight	Composition	Fine metal	Diameter	The instrument
1966–1969	87.3 grains	Copper and nickel	n/a	0.934 inches	Currency Act 1965 and Currency Regulations (SR 1966 No. 21) Currency Act 1965 Schedule; Currency Regulations rr 3-7 and Schedule

Varieties and errors

A variety is a claim about a coin, and claims differ in how well they are evidenced. The grade beside each says what kind of source stands behind it. This catalogue prints no valuations, so nothing here tells you what a variety is worth.

Variety	How you tell it apart	Evidence	Source
1966 10c rotated die	Obverse/reverse rotation across almost a full clock face	scholarly a numismatic society, museum catalogue or archival study	source this resulted in London minted 1966 10 cent coins with all manner of rotated die errors.
