Some shillings from 1936 to 1945 when my part of Papua New Guinea (on the New Guinea side) was then called Territory of New Guinea.I have since been informed that cleaning any old coins will lose its value. I cleaned mine that I made up for necklaces. Any coin experts who wish to comment on their views and opinions and want to share it with public; are welcome to comment but I do not access my Blogs every day so sometimes it might take a couple of days for me to approve.
In response to one of my Comment below from a Jimmy querying about the above coin I have inserted a couple of weblinks
