Dad's Territory of New Guinea coins from 1938 - 1945

    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

  5. Hi Jimmy

    I 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
