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

Hi Jimmy, thanks darl about to log off it was from when my part of New Guinea was called Territory of New Guinea now known as Papua New Guinea. I will be able to insert more comments tomorrow in regards to this and more pics.
ReplyDeleteHi Jimmy
ReplyDeleteI have inserted a couple of weblinks on my POST in regards to your query of those shillings. It is advisable to speak to a reputable coin dealer because no-one knows their true value. My opinion is that they may be worth more than $20AUD due to it's historical significance.
After WWII ended in war time Territory Papua and New Guinea, the Australian currency then came into the country. Will be posting a current photo of the 3 coins I had made up as necklaces for viewing soon.
You can also try and Bing or Google other websites too if you type in the correct name of the Shilling/Coin of the ones above.
Hope it helps.
Cheers
this blog is good and nice and have more knowledge about tourism
